President-elect Trump tapped his daughter Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Lebanese-American businessman Dr. Massad Boulos, to join his Cabinet as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
"I am proud to announce that Massad Boulos will serve as Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs," the president-elect wrote on TRUTHSocial. "Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene."
Boulos led efforts to engage the Arab American community, organizing dozens of meetings across Michigan and other areas with large Arab populations.
Massad Boulos (born in 1971) is a Lebanese-American businessman and political associate of Donald Trump; on 1 December Trump announced that he would appoint him as senior advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. He is the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany. He supported Trump's presidential campaign in the 2024 United States presidential election, and canvassed for the support of Arab Americans, particularly in Michigan.
Boulos was born to a Greek Orthodox family in Kfaraakka, Koura, Lebanon (his surname meaning the apostle "Paul" in Arabic). He moved to Texas as a teenager, where he obtained a law degree at the University of Houston Law Center. Both his father and grandfather were figures in Lebanese politics and his father-in-law was a key funder of the Free Patriotic Movement.
After completing his education, Boulos returned to his family's business and took over as CEO of SCOA Nigeria, a billion-dollar conglomerate that distributes motor vehicles and equipment throughout West Africa.
During the 2024 US
presidential elections, Boulos campaigned for Trump in Muslim and Arab
communities with Bishara Bahbah, who founded Arabs for Trump, and Richard
Grenell. He sought to portray Trump as supportive of "global
peace", according to Bahbah.
Boulos has acted as an intermediary between the Palestinian Authority and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas and Trump.
