Trump's new team takes shape: Fresh faces join upcoming administration

In the second week of transition planning Donald Trump picks new team members for his upcoming administration. The ex-president made two big-time choices on 11/11: picking Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador and Tom Homan for border control chief

Susie Wiles got the top-job as White House chief-of-staff (sheʼs gonna be the first-ever woman doing this work). For policy stuff Stephen Miller – a long-time friend is likely to become deputy chief

The interior secretary spot has two north-midwest governors in mind: Kristi Noem and Doug Burgum; with Burgum maybe getting energy secretary instead – same as Dan Brouillette who did this work before

We wont be asking Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo to join the new team

Trump stated on social media

For other big-deal jobs theres lots of names floating around:

  • Brian Hook – looking after State Department switch
  • Robert Wilkie – handling Defense Department change
  • Peter Deutsch – wants Israel ambassador job
  • Tom Cotton – said no to cabinet spots
  • Marco RubioBill Hagerty‚ and Richard Grenell – maybe State Secretary picks

More smart-minds being looked at are Mike WaltzKeith KelloggKash PatelJohn RatcliffeRobert OBrien‚ and Elbridge Colby – all of them might get important jobs in the new set-up
