Trump Appoints Boulos, Kushner in Key Roles

News summary

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Massad Boulos, a Lebanese American businessman and father-in-law to his daughter Tiffany, as a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos played a significant role in garnering Arab American support for Trump during his campaign and is known for his business acumen and connections within Lebanon's political landscape. Additionally, Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as the U.S. ambassador to France, despite Kushner's controversial past involving a conviction for tax evasion and other charges. These appointments reflect Trump's tendency to include family members or their relatives in key positions, raising questions about the qualifications and implications of such choices. While some see these moves as strategic alliances to enhance diplomatic ties, others express concern over the lack of traditional diplomatic experience among the appointees. Trump's previous policies favorable to Israel suggest his second term may continue to prioritize these alliances, albeit with different personnel from his first administration.
