“Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East. He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team,” Trump wrote.
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of his daughter Tiffany, has been tapped to serve as Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs in the forthcoming Trump administration.
Trump wrote on Truth, "I am proud to announce that Massad Boulos will serve as Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene. He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community."
"Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East. He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team," Trump added.
Lebanon-born Boulos runs Boulos Enterprises, a Nigeria-based company that produces and distributes mechanical equipment and motorcycles, the New York Post reported. Tiffany, who is pregnant with her first child, married Boulos’ son Michael in 2022.
In the 2024 election cycle, Boulos led efforts to engage the Arab American community, organizing meetings across Michigan and other areas with large Arab populations, and has been credited by Trump camping officials and supporters for flipping some of the Arab American and Muslim Michiganders who backed Biden in 2020, Reuters reported.
Also announced to serve in his forthcoming administration is Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, as US ambassador to France.
