Trump Names Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff in White House Shakeup

aawsat.com (Arabic) —

US President Donald Trump has strengthened his grip on the White House by appointing his close adviser Stephen Miller as chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, in his first major administration reshuffle following the Republicans' devastating midterm defeat. The appointment reflects Trump's commitment to a confrontational approach with Democrats, who have seized majorities in both congressional chambers, according to critics. Trump reinforced this message by posting a photo of himself with the phrase "Mr. Veto," signaling his readiness to block the new majority's agenda. The decision comes amid growing divisions within the Republican Party over Trump's political future. Although Democrats control Congress, they will face difficulty passing legislation and overriding presidential vetoes, though their majority grants them tools to launch investigations into the administration and restrict government spending.
