Donald Trump has proposed the appointment of Thomas Barrack, founder of Colony Capital, as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey. This nomination marks Barrack as the ninth billionaire in Trump's incoming administration. Barrack, a long-time ally of Trump and a descendant of Lebanese Christian immigrants, is expected to play a significant role in U.S.-Turkey relations. In addition to Barrack, Trump has also nominated Ronald Johnson, a former ambassador to El Salvador, as the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. These appointments reflect Trump's strategy of surrounding himself with wealthy and influential allies as he prepares to take office as the 47th president of the United States.
