Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of President Donald Trump, has announced the birth of her first child, a baby boy named Alexander Trump Boulos. The joyous news was shared alongside a touching social media post featuring the newborn's tiny foot, marking the arrival of the president’s eleventh grandchild. "Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives! 5.15.2025," Tiffany wrote. The birth of the child adds a personal milestone amidst Trump's busy itinerary as he engages in high-stakes economic diplomacy in the Middle East.
The announcement was met with warm congratulations from family members, with her mother, Marla Maples, expressing her elation online. She commented on the post, "No greater joy in the world. Michael and Tiffany this Gran Mar Mar loves you all so much!! You rocked it, my girl!" Tiffany Trump's husband, Michael Boulos, described the newborn as a blessing. The couple was married in November 2022, and the arrival of their son has been much anticipated by friends, family, and supporters.
Meanwhile, President Trump, who was on a diplomatic trip to the Middle East, spoke briefly about the birth. "We have found something that I’m very proud of," he stated. "We will be heading back now, and I look forward to that. We are going back to D.C. I just had a little announcement of the beautiful grandchild, a boy, Tiffany and Michael. So we are very excited about that." The president's trip included stops in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he was focused on securing major financial deals, a move seen as a boost to the U.S. economy.
The trip's high point came with the announcement of a series of business agreements and financial investments, including a $600 billion agreement with Saudi Arabia. The White House also highlighted a significant economic agreement with Qatar valued at more than $243 billion, which involved Qatar Airways purchasing 160 Boeing aircraft. Another landmark deal was the $200 billion agreement with the UAE, which included commitments to expand cooperation on artificial intelligence and the announcement of an aluminum plant to be built in the United States.
President Trump's visit was framed by White House officials as an opportunity to showcase the president’s efforts to bolster the U.S. economy through international agreements. While CNBC reported that some deals would take decades to fully realize, their historic financial magnitude marks them as significant achievements amid global economic uncertainties.
As the Trump family celebrates the birth of Tiffany's son, President Trump's economic diplomacy in the Middle East underscores his administration's commitment to strengthening U.S. economic ties with strategic partners. The juxtaposition of personal joy and professional triumph paints a multifaceted picture of the current presidency, highlighting the blend of family and state affairs.
