Charles Kushner, a real estate developer whose son is married to Ivanka Trump, was confirmed as the U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco following a 51-45 Senate vote, with Cory Booker supporting him while Lisa Murkowski opposed the nomination. Despite past convictions related to false statements and tax evasion, Kushner accepted the role, emphasizing his past mistakes but highlighting his ambition to strengthen US-French economic ties amid growing tensions over tariffs and the Ukraine conflict.
