WASHINGTON (TNND) — President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick for a new adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, Massad Boulos.
Boulos is the CEO of the SCOA Nigeria conglomerate and was born in Lebanon. He also runs Boulos Enterprises in Nigeria, which produces mechanical equipment and motorcycles.
According to reports, his net worth is estimated to be billions of dollars.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote “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.”
Boulos’ son, Michael, married Tiffany Trump at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in November 2022.
Trump’s pick has powerful roots in both countries, as both Boulos’ father and grandfather were prevalent figures in Lebanese politics.
