On Sunday, Trump announced his pick in a post on Truth Social.
“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump said.
“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, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, met with Arab American and Muslim leaders several times during the election campaign.
He will most likely collaborate with Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, who was appointed last month.
This is the second time in recent days that Trump chose the father-in-law of one of his children to serve in his administration. On Saturday, Trump announced Charles Kushner, father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as his pick for Ambassador to France.
