Trump Appoints Massad Boulos as Senior Middle East Adviser

Boulos, a Lebanese-American billionaire with complex political ties, becomes a key figure in Trump’s second-term foreign policy team.

Massad Boulos, father-in-law of Tiffany Trump, has been named Senior Adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs in Donald Trump’s incoming administration.
Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman with ties to various factions in Lebanese politics, has faced scrutiny for connections to figures aligned with Hezbollah but denies formal political affiliations.
During Trump’s campaign, Boulos played a significant role in outreach to Arab American and Muslim communities, helping to boost support in key states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
This appointment follows Trump’s broader strategy of involving family and close allies in key roles, including Charles Kushner as ambassador to France.
Observers are divided on Boulos’ potential impact, with some highlighting his political connections and others questioning his alignment with Trump’s previous pro-Israel policies.
