President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, a prominent real estate developer and father of Jared Kushner, as the next U.S. Ambassador to France. The announcement was made on November 30, 2024. Charles Kushner's appointment is subject to Senate confirmation. Previously, Trump had pardoned Charles Kushner in the final days of his presidency for charges including illegal campaign contributions and tax evasion. This nomination marks a significant diplomatic move, given Kushner's background and his relationship to Trump through marriage.
