President-elect Donald Trump appointed two of his in-laws to prominent diplomatic roles that could shape his foreign policy in his second term. On Saturday, he nominated Charles Kushner, the father-in-law of Ivanka Trump, as U.S. ambassador to France. Meanwhile, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese-American father-in-law of Tiffany Trump, was appointed as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos will join a Middle East team with ardent supporters of Israel — real estate developer Steve Witkoff, who was appointed as special envoy to the region, and Mike Huckabee, an evangelical hardliner and Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel.
