Trump Appoints Key Officials for Second Term

President-elect Donald Trump is filling key administration roles with loyal allies from his 2024 campaign, emphasizing priorities such as immigration, national security, and energy independence. Notable appointments include Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff, making her the first woman to hold this position, and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, where he will address international crises. Tom Homan, a former ICE director, has been named 'border czar' to oversee a significant deportation initiative, while Stephen Miller returns as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, focusing on immigration enforcement. Elise Stefanik has been selected as U.N. ambassador, despite concerns over her limited foreign policy experience. These choices reflect Trump's commitment to his hardline policies and maintaining a close-knit team.
