Charles Kushner Named as Trump's Ambassador to France

Charles Kushner, the father of Ivanka Trump and father-in-law of Jared Kushner, was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as the US ambassador to France. This selection is in line with Trump's pattern of choosing individuals with ties to his family or a history of loyalty. Some articles praise Kushner's business acumen and philanthropic efforts, while others note his past criminal convictions, including tax evasion, and his imprisonment. Trump had previously pardoned Kushner, who had pleaded guilty to multiple crimes in 2004. Despite these controversies, Trump has publicly praised Kushner's leadership and business experience, describing him as a "strong advocate" and "highly successful" individual.
