Trump appoints his daughter's father-in-law as key adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs

Donald Trump, the U.S. president-elect, announced that Massad Boulos, a businessman with American and Lebanese citizenship, will become his adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Trump shared this information on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Boulos, privately Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, has extensive contacts in the Arab world. His relationships and experience could be crucial for developing a new U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Boulos is known for numerous meetings with Arab leaders and has close relationships with various political factions in Lebanon. His connections include, among others, Hezbollah, a Shia organization supported by Iran, and the Christian Lebanese Forces party, which opposes Hezbollah.

Massad Boulos also played an important role in Trump's presidential campaign, helping to gain support from the Muslim minority in swing states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan. His involvement contributed to the success of the Republican Party in the elections.

This is the second father-in-law from the family that Trump has chosen for his administration. On Sunday, the politician announced the intention to nominate Charles Kushner, a controversial figure with a criminal record, as U.S. ambassador to France. Kushner is the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
