Michael Boulos, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, arrived in Kochi on Saturday for a private visit with US Ambassador Sergio Gor. Police sources said Boulos may visit tourist spots in Kochi and Alappuzha, including a possible houseboat ride. Mathrubhumi reported he called on Kerala Chief Minister VD Satheesan, but the Chief Minister’s Office denied this, confirming Satheesan only met the ambassador. The US Embassy said Boulos is in India in a personal capacity, not on an official visit.


The hubbub over Michael Boulos’s Kerala trip, first reported as a state guest meeting the chief minister, later denied by the same office, shows how easily a private visit gets wrapped in political theatre. An American son-in-law is not a diplomatic cable. The real story is the steady US-India relationship, not a photo op that never happened. Watch whether Boulos’s itinerary includes any official event. If not, the whole episode is a tempest in a teacup.
