Following his narrow victory in the November 5 election, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has announced a series of cabinet nominees and appointees who will form the core team for his second term.
These initial choices, covering areas from environmental policy to border control, reflect Trump’s focus on returning to many of the “America First” principles that shaped his first presidency.
Trump’s administration is set to begin on January 20, 2025, and he has emphasised that these appointments will steer the nation towards what he calls a “renewed American strength.”
Here is a list of Trump’s appointments so far: Lee Zeldin has been selected to lead the Environmental Protection Agency; Mike Waltz has been appointed as National Security Advisor; Susie Wiles has been chosen as Chief of Staff; Tom Homan has been selected as the border czar; Elise Stefanik has been chosen as the Ambassador to the United Nations; and Stephen Miller has been appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff.
