President Trump has made several key appointments as his team transitions to the White House next year. One of the significant announcements was the appointment of Jamieson Greer as the next U.S. trade representative. Greer, who previously served as the chief of staff to the trade representative Robert Lighthizer during Trump’s first term, will now have to go through the Senate confirmation process.
Additionally, Vince Haley, a former speechwriter during Trump’s campaign, has been chosen to lead the Domestic Policy Council, while Kevin A. Hassett will head the White House National Economic Council. Trump expressed his confidence in Haley’s ability to lead the domestic agenda and highlighted Hassett’s role in designing and passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Furthermore, businessman John Phelan has been appointed as the next secretary of the Navy. Trump praised Phelan’s leadership qualities and emphasized his commitment to putting the business of the U.S. Navy first, aligning with the “America First” vision.
These appointments reflect Trump’s focus on strengthening economic policies, domestic agenda, and national defense. As the transition to the new administration continues, these key figures will play essential roles in shaping the future direction of the country.
