Trump picks Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, as advisor on Middle East and Arab affairs

A day after nominating his son-in-law’s father to be ambassador to France, President-elect Donald Trump has picked his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law, Massad Boulos, to be his Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social.

“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,” he added.

Boulos, who was born in Lebanon, has a net worth estimated in the billions of dollars, according to the New York Post. He runs Nigeria-based Boulos Enterprises, a company that produces and distributes mechanical equipment and motorcycles. 

Tiffany married Michael Boulos in 2022.
