Newly elected US President Donald Trump has appointed his daughter Tiffany's father-in-law as advisor on Middle East affairs. Trump on Sunday announced the appointment of Lebanese American businessman Massad Boulos as senior advisor on Arab and Middle East affairs. Boulos is a close friend of Trump. Trump's daughter is married to Boulos' son.
Samadhi campaigned for Trump
Boulos supported Trump during the election to woo the Arab American community in Michigan. During the election campaign he held dozens of meetings in areas with large Arab American populations, angered by Democratic President Joe Biden's support of Israel's attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.
Trump had won in these places
Let us tell you that Donald Trump won in Arab American dominated city Dearborn Heights and also won in Michigan and other important states. Apart from this, Trump has nominated Mike Huckabee for US Ambassador to Israel, who has rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state in the territory occupied by Israel.
Tiffany is married to Massad's son Michael.
Massaad Boulos' son Michael and Tiffany got engaged during Trump's first term. The engagement took place in the White House Rose Garden, followed by a grand ceremony at the Florida Mar-a-Lago Club in November 2022.
