Dec 1, 2024, 04:24 PM
President Donald Trump has appointed Massad Boulos as Senior Advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman with significant ties to Nigeria and father-in-law to Trump's daughter Tiffany, brings extensive international business experience to the role. He is an accomplished lawyer known for his advocacy of Republican and Conservative principles. Trump described Boulos as a 'dealmaker' and an 'unwavering supporter of peace in the Middle East.' Boulos has been actively engaging with Arab American communities and supports Middle East peace efforts. He traveled with Trump to Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan, during the campaign, helping to make inroads with the Arab vote. Born in Lebanon, Boulos moved to Texas as a teenager, earned a law degree from the University of Houston, and built a billion-dollar business empire. He has significant ties across the Lebanese political spectrum, including recent meetings with leaders of various parties such as the Kataeb party, which opposes Hezbollah. Trump announced Boulos's appointment on Truth Social. His appointment is expected to strengthen relationships in the region and facilitate Trump's efforts to promote peace.
