Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as the next U.S. Ambassador to France. This controversial decision comes despite Kushner’s past legal troubles, including a federal prison sentence for tax evasion. Trump praised Kushner as a ‘brilliant businessman’ and ‘philanthropist,’ omitting any mention of his criminal history. The appointment aims to strengthen U.S.-France relations, according to Trump.
