Trump's core team members announced as cabinet formation accelerates

Following his victory in the 2024 US presidential election, Donald Trump has begun outlining the key figures who will shape his administration. On Nov. 7, Trump officially named Susie Wiles, his campaign manager, as White House chief of staff. According to CNN, further appointments were revealed on the evening of Nov. 11, detailing key roles that will influence US domestic and foreign policy over the next four years.

US Ambassador to the United Nations: Elise Stefanik

New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has been appointed as US Ambassador to the United Nations. At 40, Stefanik has served in the House of Representatives since 2015 and was initially considered a moderate within the party before becoming a staunch supporter of Trump. Her appointment is expected to align the US stance at the United Nations more closely with Trump's vision. Critics, however, point to Stefanik's lack of direct experience in foreign policy, suggesting she may face early challenges in the diplomatic arena.

"Border czar": Tom Homan

Trump has designated Tom Homan to oversee US border security and immigration enforcement. The 62-year-old Homan, former acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is known for his hardline stance on immigration. His appointment signals a potential return to large-scale deportation efforts, which are expected to ramp up under Trump's second term.

First female White House chief of staff: Susie Wiles

Susie Wiles, a seasoned political strategist from Florida, will take the helm as White House chief of staff. Wiles played a pivotal role in Trump's successful presidential campaign, leveraging her expertise in social media and data analytics. Known for her strong political instincts, Wiles will be responsible for managing internal coordination and public relations, ensuring that Trump's policy agenda is effectively communicated.

Predicted appointments for key roles

Stephen Miller, Trump's top immigration advisor, is expected to take on the role of White House deputy chief of staff for policy. Known as a hardliner on immigration issues, Miller played a key role in shaping restrictive immigration policies during Trump's first term.

There is a good chance for Jay Clayton, former head of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, to be a leading candidate for Attorney General. With a background in corporate law and financial regulation, Clayton's potential appointment could signal a focus on financial crimes and deregulation.

Although Elon Musk has not been officially named as part of Trump's administration, his influence on the new government is significant. Many analysts predict that Trump's victory will greatly benefit Tesla and the US electric vehicle industry, with the administration expected to support renewable energy and artificial intelligence initiatives.
