“Congratulations to Alina Habba on her appointment as Counsellor by President-elect Donald Trump!
Alina, a 40-year-old New Jersey lawyer, has successfully represented Mr. Trump in major legal challenges. Her family fled Iraq in the 1980s to escape persecution against Aramean Christians.
In his statement, Trump wrote: “As a first-generation American of Middle Eastern heritage, she has become a role model for women in law and politics, most recently being named Chaldean Woman of the Year.”
We are proud to celebrate this remarkable achievement, as Chaldean Catholics are part of our shared Aramaic heritage, united by common roots, culture, and destiny. As one nation!
Alina’s accomplishments reflect the strength and resilience of Middle Eastern Christians. We trust she will advocate for justice and recognition of the immense losses suffered by Christians in their homelands.
We wish Alina great success in this vital role as senior adviser to the incoming President!“
