Trump Appoints Mark Savaya as Special Envoy to Iraq

President Donald Trump is wasting no time reshaping America’s role on the global stage and his latest move is sending a strong signal to Iraq and beyond.

On Sunday, Trump announced the appointment of Detroit-area entrepreneur Mark Savaya as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq. A respected figure in Michigan’s Middle Eastern business and civic communities, Savaya played a crucial role in mobilizing Muslim American voters for Trump in the key swing state and now he’s being entrusted with a critical diplomatic role.

“I’m pleased to announce Mark Savaya will serve as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Mark was a key player in my campaign in Michigan, where he, and others, helped secure a record vote with Muslim Americans.”

This appointment isn’t just about diplomacy it’s about results.

Savaya brings more than goodwill to the table. His deep ties to both the U.S. and Iraq, and his understanding of the challenges facing the region, give him a unique edge. Unlike the career bureaucrats who have mishandled Middle East policy for decades, Savaya represents a new kind of envoy: one rooted in real-world experience, not ivory tower theory.

The announcement comes just one week after Trump stunned the world by brokering a historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, effectively ending the two-year Gaza war. At a ceremony in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt surrounded by dozens of regional leaders Trump declared what many thought impossible:

“At long last, we have peace in the Middle East.”

Trump's deal didn’t just end hostilities. It also secured the release of the remaining living hostages, the return of some victims’ remains, and laid the foundation for a multi-phase roadmap to stability something the Biden administration failed to even attempt.

Key highlights from Trump’s latest Middle East breakthrough:

• A 20-point peace plan is being phased in, with future negotiations already underway.

• The ceasefire was achieved without caving to globalist pressure or UN interference.

• Trump emphasized a continued expansion of the Abraham Accords, which the Biden administration neglected completely.

“This is more than just the end of a war,” Trump said. “It’s a new beginning for an entire beautiful Middle East.”

The contrast between Trump’s decisive leadership and the failed policies of the Biden years couldn’t be starker. While Biden officials clung to empty rhetoric and identity politics, Trump cut deals that actually delivered peace.

And now, with Savaya at the helm in Iraq, the Trump team is poised to build on that momentum.

It’s worth remembering that under Trump’s first term, four Arab nations Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the UAE joined the Abraham Accords, normalizing ties with Israel. Not one new country joined under Biden.

Trump’s strategy is clear: End terror. Build trust. Secure peace. And do it by putting competent, trusted leaders in place not just more DC insiders.

With the 2024 election on the horizon, Americans have a choice: return to a presidency that delivers real-world victories, or continue down the same path of failure, weakness, and global instability.

Mark Savaya’s appointment is one more step toward reclaiming peace through strength and reminding the world what American leadership truly looks like.
