Who rings for Trump’s cabinet 2.0?

The appointment of Susie Wiles as chief of staff of the White House is the first position announced by the next president of the United States, Donald Trump, for a second term in which he is expected to surround himself with very loyal collaborators.

Trump, who ended up fighting with many members of his first cabinet, especially after the assault on the Capitol, will have as vice president JD Vance, a senator from Ohio who was critical of him in the past but now fully supports him.

Meanwhile, Wiles, the first woman appointed chief of staff of the White House, one of the most important positions in Washington, has been one of the main advisors of the Republican campaign and Trump himself attributes credit to her for last Tuesday’s victory over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

Elon Musk, Trump’s key ally

One of the people who could have a great prominence is the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, director of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of the social network X, from where he has promoted a strong campaign in favor of the Republican.

Trump offered Musk to run an office for “government efficiency” with the aim of cutting the expenses of the bureaucracy and fulfilling the Republican’s goal of eliminating what he calls the “deep state.”

Kennedy Jr.

Some charge is also expected for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of former Democratic President John F. Kennedy (1961-1963), who withdrew his presidential candidacy as an independent to support Trump, a gesture rejected by the Kennedy dynasty.

This controversial businessman, known for his anti-vaccine positions, has said that he could play an important role in the health policies of the next Trump Administration.

Stephen Miller, one of the great ideologists of Trump’s anti-immigration policy, could also have an important position in the White House.

Attorney General, Trump’s trusted men

One of the most important decisions that the next president must make is the appointment of the attorney general who will lead the Department of Justice and close the two criminal cases that weigh on the Republican for the assault on the Capitol and for having taken classified documents from the White House.

After a tense relationship with the prosecutors of his first term, Jeff Sessions and William Barr, he is expected to choose very loyal people who never turn their backs on him, including Jeff Clark, former deputy attorney general who was charged with Trump for electoral interference in the state of Georgia, or the current Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton.

Secretary of State

One of the names with which the most speculation is made to lead US diplomacy is that of Marco Rubio, a Florida senator who was on the list of possible vice presidents for a second term of the Republican

Rubio, of Cuban origin, exerted from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a remarkable influence on the policy towards Latin America of Trump’s first term, but some advisors to the future president believe that his ‘hawk’ profile contrasts with the isolationist policy of “United States first” promoted by Trump.

Also in the pools is Richard Grenell, controversial former ambassador of Trump to Germany, a man very loyal to the Republican who was involved in his attempt to reverse his 2020 electoral defeat in the state of Nevada. He also participated in a recent meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Secretary of Defense

Trump is considering the possibility of putting Mike Pompeo at the head of the Pentagon, who was Secretary of State in his first term and is one of the few members of his first cabinet who could repeat in the Government.

Other names on the table are those of Mike Waltz, a Florida congressman and retired National Guard colonel; and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, who had already sounded as Secretary of Defense for Trump’s first term.
Secretary of the Treasury

At the head of the US Treasury could be Robert Lighthizer, who was already a representative of Foreign Trade in Trump’s first term and is considered a skeptic of free trade and a supporter of the tariff war with China.
Important donors of the Trump campaign also sound for the position, such as businessmen Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent or John Paulson.

The governor of North Dakota, Doug Burgum, is on the list of possible energy secretaries and former Secretary of Education Betsy Devos could return to that department to fulfill Trump’s promise to eliminate it.

China shows at the UN its “condemnation” of Israel for the “violation of Iran’s sovereignty”

The Chinese ambassador to the United Nations, Fu Cong, showed the “condemnation” of his country against the “violation of the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Iran” after the air attack launched by Israel against multiple targets in that country, the official newspaper Diario del Pueblo reports this Saturday.

That media echoes Fu’s speech to the UN Security Council on Friday, in which he demanded that Israel “immediately stop all its military actions.”

“China (…) opposes the expansion of conflicts, and is deeply concerned about the serious consequences that may arise from Israel’s actions. The intensification of regional tensions does not interest any of the parties involved,” said the Chinese emissary.

Beijing called on Tel Aviv and Tehran to “resolve their disputes through political and diplomatic means, and maintain peace and stability at the regional level jointly.”

In Fu’s view, the Israeli attack will have a “negative impact” on the negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program: “China has always been committed to the peaceful resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and consultations, and opposes the use of force, illegal unilateral sanctions and armed attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities.”

This Friday, China had already expressed its willingness to “play a constructive role” to curb the escalation of tensions and facilitate conciliation, in line with its traditional position of active neutrality in the region’s conflicts.

The Israeli attack, which according to Tehran caused dozens of deaths, including senior military commanders and at least six nuclear scientists, targeted key facilities such as the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. Numerous civilian casualties were also reported.

Israel justified the offensive by claiming that the Iranian regime is secretly developing a program to manufacture nuclear weapons.

For his part, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, promised a “severe response” and assured that the attack would reveal the “evil nature” of Israel.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres also expressed concern about the bombing, at a time when Iran and the US The United States is holding talks about the Iranian nuclear program.

Donald Trump’s government pauses its program of indiscriminate raides against migrants

The government of US President Donald Trump has decided to pause its campaign of discretionary roundings against migrants in certain areas due to its apparent concern about the growing unpopularity of these methods, according to The New York Times newspaper on Friday.

According to an email to which the newspaper has had access and the confirmation of US officials, the Executive has ordered the Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE) to pause the beatings that affect the agricultural industry and the hospitality industry.

The spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, confirmed in a statement that “the president’s instructions” will be obeyed and the portfolio will also continue to “work to get the worst illegal foreign criminals out of the streets of the United States.”

The decision points out that this campaign of discretionary arrests to try to deport large-scale immigrants is harming industries and electoral constituencies whose support Trump wants to retain for next year’s legislative elections.

The new instructions were transmitted to ICE in an email sent last Thursday asking that “all investigations/law enforcement operations be suspended in work centers in the agricultural sector (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and hotels.”

These new guidelines come in turn after more than a week of intense protests in Los Angeles against this immigration policy and that Trump himself admitted that the raids seem to be affecting the agricultural sector, which in states like California, where beatings have intensified, depend almost exclusively on immigrant labor.

Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has implemented an aggressive policy of hard hand against immigration and as a sample of his Cabinet officials recently held a meeting with the ICE leadership to order them to carry out 3,000 arrests a day, a mandate that seems to be behind the intensification of the raids.

Trump says he knew “everything” about the attack on Iran and assures that the dialogue remains open

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Washington “known everything” about the Israeli attack on Iran and that the dialogue on Tehran’s nuclear program “is not dead.”

“We knew everything and I tried to avoid Iran all this humiliation and death. I tried hard to avoid it because I would have loved to see an agreement,” Trump said in an interview with Reuters.

The US president insisted on what he wrote today about the attack on social networks, where he said he gave an ultimatum of 60 days to Tehran to reach an agreement.

“We knew practically everything. We knew enough to give Iran 60 days to reach an agreement and today it is already 61 days,” he explained in the interview, in which he said he did not know what the current situation of the Iranian nuclear program is after the attack launched by Israel, which also ended the lives of key military leaders of the Persian country.

Regarding the dialogue between the US and Iran about the nuclear program of the ayatollahs, Trump assured that “he is not dead”, that “an agreement is still possible” and also recalled that on Sunday a sixth round of dialogue is scheduled in Muscat (Oman) that they consider is now in the air.

“We have a meeting with them on Sunday. Now, I’m not sure if that meeting will take place, but we have a meeting with them on Sunday,” he said.

The United States and Iran have held five rounds of talks on the Iranian nuclear program since April, with Washington demanding that Tehran discard its capabilities both to manufacture an atomic bomb and to enrich uranium, something that the ayatollahs considered unacceptable.

Both Israel and Trump himself had warned of possible preventive attacks on the Persian country due to this refusal by Iran.
