Trump Names Charles Kushner as Ambassador to France

Donald Trump confirms Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as his nominee for French ambassador.


In a notable political move, Donald Trump has tapped real-estate developer Charles Kushner, closely linked with the Trump family, to serve as the U.S. ambassador to France.

In a post shared on his Truth Social platform, President-elect Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has chosen Charles Kushner to be his ambassador to France. Charles Kushner, a prominent real-estate developer, is the father of Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. The decision adds another layer of family connection to Trump’s administration, as he previously granted a pardon to Mr. Kushner in 2020, dismissing a federal conviction he faced.

Trump praised Charles Kushner in his announcement, describing him as "a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker" who will effectively advocate for U.S. interests abroad. However, Kushner’s past could present challenges during the Senate confirmation process.

In 2005, Charles Kushner was convicted on multiple charges including tax evasion and witness tampering, stemming from an incident where he allegedly attempted to intimidate his brother-in-law—a cooperating witness—using a hired prostitute in a scheme that prosecutors described as morally reprehensible. This prosecution was led by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has since become a critic of Trump.

Despite these legal issues, Trump has positioned Charles Kushner as an important figure in his foreign policy vision, especially in regards to France, calling it “our oldest Ally, & one of our greatest!" This nomination marks the first official appointment of a family member in Trump’s current administration following his re-election. As the political landscape evolves, all eyes will be on the Senate as it considers the nomination of Charles Kushner.
