Donald Trump, who won the presidential elections in the USA, announced the first appointment in his administration, and it is a woman, BTA reported.
Trump said Susie Wiles, who is considered the architect of his campaign, will be his White House chief of staff.
"Susie Wiles helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history," said the Republican.
Trump said Wiles would "continue to work tirelessly to make America great again”. He emphasized that 60-year-old Wiles would be the first woman to hold this prestigious post - "an honor that he believes is well deserved.
Trump described Wiles as strong, smart and innovative. He said he admired and respected her. Trump recalled that she was part of his successful campaigns in both 2016 and 2020.
Wiles is said to be from Trump's inner circle and to have managed one of his most disciplined campaigns, the Associated Press noted. On the campaign trail, Wiles did what others failed to do, which was to help Trump control his impulses. This she did not by admonishing or reprimanding him, but by being able to win his respect and show him that he would be better off if he followed her advice.
Before working for Trump, Wiles worked on Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign in 1980. She also helped Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in that state in 2018, Reuters recalled.
Wiles is 67 years old and is from New Jersey. She will now have considerable power in the White House. Her position allows her to decide who has access to the president, DPA and the Associated Press noted.
But this position is not without risks. During Trump's first term in the White House, four of his chiefs of staff lined up in the White House, including retired US Marine General John Kelly, who later became one of Trump's biggest critics, DPA recalls.< /p>
The post of chief of staff is perhaps the most strategic in the American executive branch, notes France Presse, comparing it to the post of general secretary of the Elysée Palace.
Early in his career as a Republican strategist to win elections, Wiles worked for more moderate representatives of the Republican Party. For example, she was an adviser to Jack Kemp, a staunch supporter of free trade, and to Tillie Fowler, who was considered a moderate on a number of issues, including gun control. Wiles also briefly served as former Utah Gov. John Huntsman Jr.'s presidential campaign manager.
Later in his career, Wiles began working for more embattled party figures, some of whom would become Trump allies, including U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida.
Wiles is a relatively unknown and mysterious person. He rarely gives interviews.
She is the daughter of Pat Summerell, who was a football player and sportscaster.
Argentine President Javier Millay will meet with Trump and tech tycoon Elon Musk next week in the United States, a spokesman for Millay's government said, quoted by BTA.
The meeting with Trump will be at Mar-a-Lago, the private club of the future US leader. Since his election late last year, Millay has sought close ties with the US, and after the Nov. 5 election, he emphasized his support for Trump.
The same government source said Miley will also meet with Musk in Florida on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference, which will take place Nov. 14-16 in Mar-a-Lago.
