Trump Assembles Key Appointments Ahead Of Inauguration.
US President-elect Donald Trump has quickly moved to assemble his administration, appointing loyal allies to key positions in preparation for his new term. His selections signal a determined approach to implement his policy agenda and strengthen control over major areas of governance.
One of Trump’s significant appointments is Tom Homan as the “border czar.” Known for his hardline stance on immigration, Homan, a former acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will lead policies on immigration and deportation, aligning with Trump’s pledge to curb illegal immigration.
Additionally, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has been chosen as the nominee for US Ambassador to the United Nations. A close ally of Trump and a strong supporter of Israel, Stefanik’s potential role at the UN is expected to focus on advancing US interests and supporting allies amid the ongoing challenges in the Middle East.
Trump has also reappointed Stephen Miller, a former senior advisor, as Deputy Chief of Staff. Known for his tough views on immigration, Miller’s return suggests a continuity of Trump’s strict policies on border security and deportations.
In another notable choice, Trump named Susie Wiles, his co-campaign manager, as Chief of Staff. Wiles has been integral to Trump’s campaign strategy, and her appointment is seen as a move to ensure loyalty and alignment within the administration.
Trump’s swift action in assembling his team comes ahead of his inauguration on 20 January. Reports indicate he may consider recess appointments to bypass Senate confirmation processes, indicating a readiness to push through his agenda with minimal delay.
