President-elect Donald Trump has picked Massad Boulos, a Lebanese-American billionaire and his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law, to serve as his adviser 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 announced Sunday 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,” the GOP leader added.
Boulos will likely play a role in seeking peace talks to end the wars in the Middle East, which Trump has vowed to do in his upcoming term. Trump called Massad a “dealmaker” and “an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East.”
Trump added, “He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team!”
