The Trump administration has appointed two individuals, Ismail Royer and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, to the White House Advisory Board. According to reports, Ismail Royer, a US citizen, attended a Lashkar-e-Taiba training camp in Pakistan in 2000 and participated in activities connected to the group. Lashkar-e-Taiba is a Pakistan-based militant organization designated as a terrorist group by several countries, including the United States and India. The group has been accused of carrying out attacks such as the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Royer has previously faced legal proceedings in the United States related to his activities and associations. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is a prominent Islamic scholar in the United States and has been involved in various religious and interfaith initiatives. Both appointees have been linked in media reports to Islamic organizations, and their appointments have drawn attention due to their alleged past connections. The White House Advisory Board provides counsel on policy matters and includes members from diverse backgrounds.
