Chinese Firm Drops Real Estate Deal with Jared Kushner's Company
----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Kushner's real estate firm on Wednesday said it had ended
talks with a Chinese company to develop a Manhattan high-rise at 666
Fifth Avenue. The deal would have seen a $400 million payout from a firm
with deep ties to the Chinese power structure. The talks collapsed as
the Senate Intelligence Committee prepared to question Kushner about
meetings he arranged at Trump Tower last December with the Russian
ambassador and the head of the U.S.-sanctioned Russian state bank. The
meetings came before Donald Trump's inauguration, but after his election
victory.
