Trump Announces Key Appointments, Including Border Czar and UN Ambassador, Signaling Hardline Immigration and Foreign Policy Stance

Date:

US President-elect Donald Trump has swiftly begun assembling his incoming administration, appointing several trusted allies to key roles and signaling a desire to bypass Senate confirmation for some posts.

Trump, aiming for a substantial reshaping of the federal government, has indicated that his second term will bring significant change.

On Sunday, the 78-year-old announced the selection of Tom Homan, a staunch immigration official, as “border czar,” while US media reported that New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a loyal Trump supporter, will be tapped for UN ambassador.

Stephen Miller, a prominent immigration hardliner from Trump’s previous administration, has also been chosen as deputy chief of staff.

These appointments align with Trump’s campaign promises, including a renewed emphasis on strict immigration enforcement and strong support for Israel.

Homan, known for his uncompromising stance on immigration, is expected to lead efforts to carry out Trump’s pledge for a large-scale deportation initiative. Meanwhile, Stefanik’s pro-Israel stance will guide US diplomacy amid escalating conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

Although Stefanik’s UN appointment requires Senate approval, Trump has suggested he may use a recess appointment to bypass Congress.

He has challenged Senate Republicans to support this approach as a test of loyalty, gaining immediate support from key Senate leaders.

Trump, who previously named Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, is signaling that his second term will focus heavily on enforcing his administration’s priorities from day one.
