Former U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed Massad Boulos, his daughter Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, as a senior adviser on Middle East affairs. Based in Beirut, Boulos is a prominent businessman with experience in healthcare and real estate. His appointment is seen as part of Trump’s broader strategy to strengthen ties with the Middle East and leverage family connections for diplomatic gains.
The decision underscores Trump’s focus on maintaining influence in the region ahead of the upcoming election. Political analysts believe this move could impact U.S.-Middle East relations, especially given Boulos’ Lebanese background and his business acumen.
