US President-elect Donald Trump has made several significant appointments as he prepares to return to the White House in January.
Key Appointments
- Border Tsar: Tom Homan, a veteran of the last Trump administration, will oversee deportations and border security. Homan has emphasized that Democrats opposing mass deportations of illegal immigrants should “get out of the way”.
- US Ambassador to the UN: New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik will take on this critical role.
- Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy: Stephen Miller is expected to fill this position, according to BBC’s US partner CBS News.
Republican Control of Congress
Republicans are inching closer to gaining full control of Congress, having already secured the Senate. The counting for the House of Representatives is ongoing.
Implications of Trump’s Appointments
These appointments signal a strong stance on immigration and border security, as well as a continued shift towards Republican control in the US government. With Homan at the helm as border tsar, Trump’s administration is likely to prioritize deportations and strict border policies. Meanwhile, Stefanik’s appointment to the UN and Miller’s expected role as deputy chief of staff for policy will shape the administration’s foreign policy and domestic agenda.
