Jared Kushner has said that financier Nat Rothschild helped him identify a remote private island in the Mediterranean during a yacht trip, as the Special Envoy for Peace's expanding overseas property interests face growing political backlash in Albania over a planned luxury resort development on Sazan Island.
The admission comes as Kushner's investment firm, Affinity Partners, faces criticism over a €1.4bn (£1.2bn) project on Albania's Adriatic coast. People have been protesting the plan because they worry it could damage the environment and restrict access to land that is currently protected.
