Trump Envoy Watched Netflix Documentaries to Bone Up on World Affairs

Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East spent the past few months watching Netflix documentaries to brush up on world affairs.

Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, a former real estate mogul with no previous experience in diplomatic relations, told The Atlantic that he has been researching international conflicts by reading books and streaming programs such as Turning Point: The Vietnam War on the streaming service.

Although Witkoff was brought into the Trump administration as a Middle East envoy tasked with negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, his role has expanded to include trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
