Trump names Miller chief of staff, vows to fight on

President-elect Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, signaling a hardline shift on domestic policy following the party's electoral losses. Trump also vowed to "never surrender" and blamed Democrats for Wall Street's recent market turmoil. Miller, the chief architect of restrictive immigration policies, was appointed amid pressure from the most uncompromising wing of the MAGA movement. Trump praised Miller as a "great manager" who has been with him "since the beginning," describing the change as sometimes necessary. On foreign policy, Trump threatened Iran with destruction if no nuclear deal is reached, while the White House reportedly weighs options including targeted strikes or economic pressure. Meanwhile, Republican infighting has begun over the 2028 presidential primaries, with figures like Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz distancing themselves from the president.
