LONDON: President Donald Trump has named a supporter of his 2024 presidential campaign as the new US envoy to Iraq. Mark Savaya, an Iraqi-born Chaldean, is a businessman and social media influencer from the state of Michigan. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “Mark’s deep understanding of the Iraq-US relationship, and his connections in the region, will help advance the interests of the American people.” He added: “Mark was a key player in my campaign in Michigan, where he, and others, helped secure a record vote with Muslim Americans.
