Don't you just hate when that happens? All those billions, all those "sovereign wealth funds", it's easy to lose track of a billion here, a billion there even when it ends up in the POCKETS of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES son in law for his failing property in Manhattan. And BFF of your enemy, the Crown Prince of SAUDI ARABIA!! How embarassing.
Qatar admits it ‘unwittingly’ bailed out New York skyscraper owned by Jared Kushner’s family

When news emerged that Qatar may have unwittingly helped bail out a New York skyscraper owned by the family of Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, eyebrows were raised in Doha.
Kushner, a senior White House adviser, was a close ally of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – a key architect of a regional boycott against Qatar, which Riyadh accuses of sponsoring terrorism. Doha denies the charge.
Brookfield, a global property investor in which the Qatari government has placed investments, struck a deal last year that rescued the Kushner Companies’ 666 Fifth Avenue tower in Manhattan from financial straits.
The bailout, in which Doha played no part and first learned about in the media, has prompted a rethink of how the gas-rich kingdom invests money abroad via its giant sovereign wealth fund, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The country has decided that the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) will aim to avoid putting money in funds or other investment vehicles it does not have full control over, according to the sources, who are familiar with the QIA’s strategy.
“Qatar started looking into how its name got involved into the deal and found out it was because of a fund it co-owned,” said one of the sources. “So QIA ultimately triggered a strategy revamp.”
The QIA declined to comment.
Canada’s Brookfield Asset Management Inc bailed out 666 Fifth Avenue via its real estate unit Brookfield Property Partners, in which the QIA acquired a 9 percent stake five years ago. Both parent and unit declined to comment...

Mattis and Tillerson are trying to soothe a crisis in the Persian Gulf, but Trump keeps picking on a US ally

In early June, several Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia, cut diplomatic ties with neighboring Qatar over its alleged funding of terrorist groups and intention of "destabilizing the region."
The split has inflamed the region at a time when US officials thought the states involved had united in a common front against Iranian influence.
While US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis have scrambled to sooth the crisis and bring all sides back together, the split has been exacerbated by their boss, President Donald Trump, who has on two occasions condemned and mocked Qatar, a longtime US partner.
Saudi Arabia and its partners broke off ties with Doha in early June, days after Trump left a summit attended by dozens of leaders from the region. Speaking after his return to the US, Trump said, "Nations came together and spoke to me about confronting Qatar over its behaviors" during his trip abroad.
"I decided, along with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, our great generals and military people, the time had come to call on Qatar to end its funding. They have to end that funding and its extremist ideology," the president added. "The nation of Qatar has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level."
