President-elect Trump Announces Dr. Massad Boulos as Senior Adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs
President-elect Trump has announced Dr. Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of his daughter Tiffany Trump, as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos is a Lebanese-American businessman with extensive experience in the business world and international relations.
“I am proud to announce that Massad Boulos will serve as Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs,” Trump wrote on TRUTHSocial. “Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene. 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. Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of peace in the Middle East. He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team!”
Boulos has been instrumental in engaging with the Arab American community, organizing dozens of meetings across Michigan and other areas with large Arab populations. He has also worked closely with Trump campaign officials and supporters to help flip Arab Americans and Muslims in Michigan who previously supported Biden in 2020.
As senior adviser, Boulos will be responsible for advising the president on issues related to the Middle East and Arab world. He is a billionaire with extensive business connections to Nigeria and has been involved in Lebanese politics through his family connections.
Boulos’ son, Michael, is married to Tiffany Trump, and the couple was married at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022. Trump recently revealed that Tiffany is pregnant. Boulos is a close friend of Suleiman Frangieh, a Christian politician backed by Hezbollah, and has maintained relations with different factions within Lebanese politics.
