President-elect Trump announced that Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, would serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France.
“I am pleased to nominate Charles Kushner, of New Jersey, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France. He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests,” Trump wrote in a Saturday post on Truth Social.
