Trump Announces Key Appointments for Incoming Administration

President-elect Donald Trump is shaping his second administration with a focus on loyalty and immigration control, appointing longtime ally Susie Wiles as chief of staff and offering Elise Stefanik the U.N. ambassador position. Trump's choices reflect a more ordered approach compared to his first term, with an emphasis on experienced MAGA supporters. Excluded from consideration is former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, illustrating a clear preference for loyalty among his appointees. Trump has also outlined ambitious plans to combat cartels, promote law and order, and disconnect from the WHO, signaling a proactive agenda for his new term. His administration's transition period is set for 75 days, culminating in the inauguration on January 20, 2025. Trump aims to differentiate this presidency from the previous one, as indicated by discussions surrounding his cabinet selections.
