U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff. The move follows the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections and is seen as a signal that Trump does not intend to pursue a path of reconciliation, but rather the opposite, over the next two years. According to Haaretz and ynet, the appointment has drawn sharp criticism from Democratic figures, including Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who expressed concern over Miller's aggressive influence on administration policy.

Miller, who previously served as Deputy Chief of Staff, is considered one of the President's closest allies and the architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies. Further details regarding additional structural changes in the White House have not yet been released.
