Former President Donald Trump announced Wednesday the appointment of Adam Boehler as his Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs with ambassadorial rank.

Boehler, who previously served as chief negotiator for the Abraham Accords during Trump's administration, brings significant diplomatic experience to the role. During Trump's previous administration, Boehler previously served as chairman of the White House Development Fund.

Trump wrote on his social media platform 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. Congratulations to Adam, his wife, Shira, and their four beautiful children, Ruth, Abraham, Esther, and Rachel!"
