Donald Trump continued to pack his administration with close allies on Sunday when he announced his plans to appoint billionaire attorney and in-law Massad Boulos as senior adviser to Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

The president-elect praised Boulos — who is the father of Michael Boulos, husband to Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump — as “an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world” while sharing the news on Truth Social over the weekend.

Calling the Lebanese American businessman someone “with extensive experience on the International scene,” Donald Trump went on to highlight Massad Boulos’ conservative bona fides.

“He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community,” Trump said.

“Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East,” he continued. “He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team!”

Boulos was a key surrogate during Trump’s campaign to win over Arab American voters in the swing state of Michigan. In the end, the Republican won the Wolverine State by around a 1.5% margin.

Boulos currently heads his family’s billion-dollar automotive conglomerate, SCOA Nigeria.

Word of his potential appointment comes just a day after Trump tapped real estate developer and disbarred attorney Charles Kushner to be his ambassador to France.

Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was pardoned for a slate of felony convictions by Trump in late 2020.
