In a notable move, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, for the ambassadorial position in France. This is seen as the first official appointment of a relative since Trump’s re-election. Charles Kushner, a real-estate developer previously convicted of federal crimes, including tax evasion, will require Senate approval for the role. Trump praised him on social media, highlighting his business acumen and potential advocacy for U.S. interests abroad.
