Trump Excludes Haley, Pompeo from New Cabinet

Donald Trump announced that Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo will not be part of his new administration, despite both having served in senior roles during his first term. This decision follows Haley's unsuccessful bid against Trump in the GOP primaries and subsequent endorsement of him, while Pompeo, once considered for defense secretary, had been seen as distancing himself from Trump. Trump expressed appreciation for their past service but has chosen not to include them in his team, with speculation suggesting they were viewed as insufficiently supportive. Haley responded graciously, extending her best wishes for Trump's administration. Meanwhile, Trump is forming his new cabinet ahead of his return to the White House.
