Trump Picks Boehler as Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday that Adam Boehler would be his special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.

Boehler is a former chief executive officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.

Trump announced the pick with a post on Truth Social:

I am pleased to announce that Adam Boehler will be my Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, with the personal rank of Ambassador. Adam worked for me as a Lead Negotiator on the Abraham Accords team. He has negotiated with some of the toughest people in the World, including the Taliban, but Adam knows that NO ONE is tougher than the United States of America, at least when President Trump is its Leader. Adam will work tirelessly to bring our Great American Citizens HOME.
 
Adam was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the first CEO of the United States Development Finance Corporation. He went to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
 
Congratulations to Adam, his wife, Shira, and their four beautiful children, Ruth, Abraham, Esther, and Rachel!
