Mr Kushner is a real-estate developer and the father of Jared Kushner, husband of his daughter Ivanka Trump. Trump pardoned Mr Kushner during his first term, waving away a federal conviction in 2020.

In a post to his social media site Truth Social, Trump said Mr Kushner is "a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests".

The nomination appears to be the first administration position that Trump has formally offered to a relative since his re-election.

Also on Saturday, Trump announced two more picks - choosing former aide, Kash Patel, to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an agency Patel has often criticised.
