Washington, D.C. Nov 08 (V7N) – President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, marking his first major staffing decision following his election victory. The appointment, reported by the BBC on Thursday, makes Wiles the first woman in U.S. history to hold this influential position.
Wiles served as a senior adviser in Trump’s campaign, playing a significant role in his electoral strategy. Her appointment is expected to bring continuity to Trump’s team as he transitions back into the White House.
As chief of staff, Wiles will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the White House, coordinating staff activities, and providing policy guidance to the president. The role is widely considered one of the most powerful in the administration, often involving close collaboration with senior advisers and cabinet members.
Beyond overseeing White House staff, the chief of staff typically plays a central role in shaping policy initiatives and serves as a key advisor on both domestic and international matters. This appointment signals Trump’s trust in Wiles, whose experience and leadership were pivotal to his campaign.
Wiles' historic appointment has sparked interest as she steps into a role traditionally dominated by men. Her previous success within Trump’s team suggests that her leadership could bring a unique dynamic to the administration’s internal operations and policy direction.
