America’s elected President Donald Trump is in full form before assuming the chair next month. He is busy appointing his people to important posts. In this series, he has also taken great care of his family. Recently, he announced the appointment of two of his associates on two important posts. His close relatives and even big leaders of the Republican Party are said to be surprised by this. According to CNN report, Trump has appointed billionaire Massad Boulos as his advisor for Arab and Middle East. This is the second time in the last many years that a President has appointed a member of his family to such an important post. Boulos is the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany. He campaigned extensively for Trump among Muslim voters during the presidential elections. Earlier on Saturday, Trump appointed real estate businessman Charles Kushner as the new US Ambassador to France. Kushner’s son is Jared Kushner. Jared is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka. That means Kushner is also a friend of Trump. In the year 2020, Donald Trump pardoned Jared Kushner in a case. Jared was convicted in a 2005 case. Importance of family: By appointing his associates to two important posts, Trump has indicated to what extent he will depend on trusted people of his family in the times to come. On Sunday, Trump introduced Boulos as one of the most respected people in the business world. He has tremendous experience on international issues. Trump further said that Masad’s image is of those trying for peace in the Middle East. He talks about America and its interests. I am happy to include him in my team. Trump has been giving important positions in politics to his family members for a long time. In such a situation, he is accused of nepotism and conflict of interest. During Trump’s previous tenure from 2017 to 2021, he also appointed daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared as advisors in his office. Tags: Donald TrumpFIRST PUBLISHED : December 2, 2024, 06:29 IST
