Former White House adviser and top Trump negotiator jaredkushner played the key role in doubling the number of Pfizer vaccine doses the firm initially set aside for Americans, according to a new book.
In Moonshoot, Pfizer CEO Dr. Albert Bourla described how Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, pushed to get an additional 100 million doses from the drug company even when most major nations were ahead of the United States in line.
As other countries sent in their orders, Bourla suggested the administration double the order to 200 million but was rebuffed. Over four years, Kushner, married to Ivanka Trump, was often called in as a final negotiator on several projects. He played the key role in getting Israel and several of its Arabian foes to sign the Abraham Peace Accords, for example.
