WASHINGTON - US President-elect Donald Trump said on Dec 4 that Mr Adam Boehler would be his special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.
Trump said Mr Boehler was a lead negotiator for him on his team that worked the Abraham Accords in 2020, a series of normalisation agreements between Israel and Arab nations.
“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,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
