Trump names hard-right adviser Stephen Miller as chief of staff

20min.ch (French) —

Donald Trump named hard-right adviser Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff on Friday, signaling a confrontational approach after his party's midterm defeat. Miller, 41, will replace Susie Wiles on Monday. Wiles, who led Trump's 2024 campaign, was the first woman in the role and brought discipline to the administration. Trump said he wanted a change, while praising her work. Miller, an immigration hardliner, vowed total loyalty to the president. Democrats condemned the appointment, with House leader Hakeem Jeffries calling Miller a dangerous xenophobe. Wiles' departure leaves fewer women in top administration roles, following several recent replacements by men.
