I’m pleased to announce that Mark Savaya will serve as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq. Mark’s deep understanding of the Iraq-U.S. relationship, along with his connections in the region, will help advance the interests of the American people.
Mark played a key role in my campaign in Michigan, where he, along with others, helped secure a record vote among Muslim Americans. Congratulations, Mark!” Trump posted.
Savaya is the owner of Leaf and Bud, a marijuana dispensary described as the largest in the Detroit area. He is also reportedly very close to Trump and his team, with his Instagram featuring many photos of him alongside the president.
One Detroit reporter detailed past donations from Savaya to Trump, including roughly $25,000 to his unsuccessful 2020 campaign.
While Trump has not publicly discussed Iraq as much as other Middle Eastern countries during the first year of his second term, his attention has certainly been focused on the region.
