President-elect Donald Trump has announced the appointment of billionaire Massad Boulos as a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos, who is the father-in-law of Trump's daughter, Tiffany, played a significant role in the president-elect's campaign outreach to Muslim communities in battleground states.
In his announcement on Sunday, Trump highlighted Boulos' impressive background as an accomplished lawyer and respected leader in the business world. He emphasized Boulos' extensive international experience and described him as a skilled dealmaker and a strong advocate for peace in the Middle East.
Trump expressed his satisfaction with having Boulos join his team, praising his conservative credentials and his commitment to advancing U.S. interests. Notably, Trump did not mention the familial connection between Boulos and his daughter in the announcement.
Additionally, Trump recently named real estate executive Charles Kushner as the next U.S. ambassador to France. Kushner, who is the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, brings a wealth of experience to the role and is expected to represent the United States effectively in France.
These appointments underscore Trump's efforts to assemble a team of experienced and capable individuals to address key issues in Arab and Middle Eastern affairs and strengthen U.S. diplomatic relations with foreign countries.
