Here's the most recent information on the upcoming administration.
In a social media post on Monday, President-elect Donald J. Trump stated his
intention to utilize the military and declare a national emergency over
immigration as part of his plans to deport large numbers of unauthorized
immigrants.
Some members of his own party have criticized the president-elect's choices for
high-level posts, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of
Health and Human Services, Matt Gaetz to be attorney general, and Pete Hegseth
to be defense secretary.
Some members of his own party have
criticized the president-elect's choices for high-level posts, such as Robert
F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Matt Gaetz
to be attorney general, and Pete Hegseth to be defense secretary.
The directors of the departments of Commerce, Labor, and Transportation are
among the high-level roles that Mr. Trump still needs to complete despite the
rapid-fire speed of his personnel announcements. Additionally, Mr. Trump is
still considering his options for the Treasury secretary nomination, a
prominent position that will be essential to his economic plan.
In response to a post outlining the
plan to declare an emergency and utilize military resources to carry out
deportations, Mr. Trump responded in the affirmative on Monday morning. In
talks with The New York Times last year, Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump's senior
immigration adviser, presented concepts that are consistent with the plan.
At the time, Mr. Miller, who will serve as Mr. Trump's deputy chief of staff
next year, stated that military monies would be utilized to construct
"vast holding facilities that would function as staging centers" for
aliens while their cases progressed. He stated those facilities would be
operated by the Homeland Security Department.
Here's more information:-
RFK Jr.'s opinions were deemed "dangerous" by Caroline Kennedy, the
American ambassador to Australia, who chastised her cousin for his vaccination
beliefs. Although members of Mr. Kennedy's family have frequently criticized him,
her remarks were a noteworthy reprimand by a U.S. government official during a
presidential transition.
Supporting Hegseth:- Despite the allegations that Mr. Hegseth had sexually
assaulted a woman in an exchange he insisted was consensual, Mr. Trump assured
his transition staff that he would continue to support the former Fox News host
he plans to name as defense secretary. As part of a settlement agreement that
included a confidentiality clause, Mr. Hegseth compensated the woman, according
to his lawyer.
Treasury
pick:- Two fresh names have emerged as potential candidates for Mr. Trump's
Treasury secretary nomination. He is considering Wall Street tycoon Marc Rowan
and former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh. In the past, it was
anticipated that Mr. Trump would choose Scott Bessent, the founder of the
investment firm Key Square Capital Management, or Howard Lutnick, the CEO of
the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald. It is anticipated that Mr. Trump will
invite the leading contenders to an interview this week.
Brendan Carr was selected by Mr. Trump to serve as the Federal Communications
Commission's chairman. Mr. Carr is an experienced Republican regulator who has
openly supported the new administration's pledges to crack down on Big Tech,
reduce regulation, and penalize TV networks for alleged political bias.
Confirmation battle:- In order to be confirmed, Mr. Gaetz, the former Florida
congressman who is Mr. Trump's choice for attorney general, will require the
support of senators he has disparaged.
Behind-the-scenes billionaires:- The corporate leaders who contributed millions
of dollars to Mr. Trump's campaign now hope to gain financially from his
policies. They expect a more business-friendly environment, which includes the
dismissal of regulators from the Biden administration.
