Tony Blair denies he wants to be Trump’s Middle East envoy

Tony Blair has denied a report that he is pitching to be Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy.

Blair, who served as special representative of the quartet of international powers for almost eight years after leaving Downing Street, met the US president’s son-in-law and key adviser, Jared Kushner, at the White House on Wednesday, according to the Mail on Sunday.

It was said to be the third meeting between Blair and Kushner since September. Kushner, 36, is championed by Trump as the man to bring peace to the Middle East.
