Trump Appoints Massad Boulos as Senior Adviser

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Massad Boulos, a Lebanon-born billionaire and father-in-law of his daughter Tiffany, as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos, praised by Trump as a respected business leader and conservative advocate, has been influential in building coalitions with the Arab American community. This appointment is part of a pattern of Trump selecting family members for key positions, as seen with his recent choice of Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. Trump's reliance on family members raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. Boulos is expected to support U.S. interests in the Middle East, particularly amidst ongoing conflicts in the region. His appointment follows his active involvement in Trump's campaign to garner support from Muslim American communities in swing states like Michigan.
