Donald Trump is making progress in forming his future administration. The president-elect has appointed several of his loyalists to key positions on Sunday, November 10, demanding that they be able to assume their roles without a cumbersome Senate confirmation process.
Tom Homan, known as the “border czar,” has been appointed to Immigration, and Michael Waltz as a national security adviser. Donald Trump has entrusted the sensitive issue of border immigration control to Tom Homan, a hardliner. The former director of the agency responsible for border and immigration control (ICE) will be responsible for implementing the president-elect’s promise to launch the largest operation to expel illegal migrants in the history of the United States from the first day of his term.
During his campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly criticized illegal migrants, promising to reinstate a family separation policy at the border. Tom Homan led ICE during Donald Trump’s previous term. Another “hawk,” Florida Senator Michael Waltz, is set to be appointed to the crucial position of national security adviser.
Additionally, Elise Stefanik, a Republican representative from New York, has been appointed as the United States ambassador to the United Nations. Donald Trump described her as a strong, tenacious, and intelligent fighter. Elise Stefanik has been known for her defense of the president and her refusal to certify the 2020 presidential election results won by Joe Biden.
In American politics, the position of the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations often serves as a stepping stone to higher offices. Another appointment by Donald Trump is Lee Zeldin, a close ally, and former New York State representative, to head the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Zeldin aims to make quick and fair deregulation decisions that will boost American businesses while maintaining high environmental standards.
Furthermore, Donald Trump has named his campaign director, Susie Wiles, as the White House Chief of Staff. Wiles played a key role in the successful election campaign of the Republican. Marco Rubio, the Republican Senator from Florida, is rumored to be considered for the position of Secretary of State. The president-elect is also expected to appoint Stephen Miller, one of his close advisers since his first successful campaign for the White House, as the deputy director of his cabinet.
