US president-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said Lebanese-American businessman Massad Boulos would serve as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Trump made the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social. Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, held several meetings with Arab-American and Muslim leaders during the election campaign.
It was the second time in recent days that Trump chose the father-in-law of one of his children to serve in his administration.
In recent months, Boulos campaigned for Trump to drum up Lebanese and Arab-American support, even as the US-backed Israel’s military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
