" With Pete Hegseth at the helm, America's enemies beware. America's military will be great again, and America will never back down," Trump said.

The Associated Press (USA) reported that Pete Hegseth is a former soldier who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2012, he ran for the Senate in Minnesota but failed. He then joined Fox News.

Mr. Hegseth, 44, has a bachelor's degree from Princeton University and a graduate degree from Harvard. He is a co-host of "Fox & Friends Weekends" and the author of "The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free."

On November 11, Donald Trump decided to nominate Mr. Lee Zeldin, former New York Congressman, to lead the US Environmental Protection Agency. According to the president-elect, Mr. Zeldin will promote fair and rapid deregulation to help unleash the power of American businesses. At the same time, this person can maintain the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet.

Speaking on social network X, Mr. Lee Zeldin affirmed: " We will restore American energy dominance, revive the auto industry to bring American jobs and make America a global leader in AI. We will achieve these goals while protecting access to clean air and water ."

Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House

Since his election, many media outlets have reported that Mr. Trump is likely to appoint Mr. Stephen Miller as Deputy White House Chief of Staff, but no official information has been released. However, in a statement on social network X on November 11, Vice President-elect JD Vance declared: "This is a great choice from the President" . This shows that the above information is likely to become true.

Miller is one of President-elect Donald Trump’s longest-serving and most trusted advisers. He worked with Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign before joining the White House as a senior adviser. He is best known for being the lead author of some of Trump’s toughest immigration policies during his first term, including the separation of immigrant families.

Director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

In an announcement on the social network Truth Social on November 11, US President-elect Donald Trump announced that Mr. Tom Homan, who served as Acting Director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency during the first 1.5 years of his term, will be able to continue in this position.

Mr. Trump said Mr. Homan would be responsible for the southern and northern borders, maritime and aviation security, and efforts to deport illegal immigrants, a central part of the agenda that Mr. Trump pledged during his 2024 presidential campaign.

Speaking later the same day on Fox News, Mr. Homan said he was honored to be appointed.

US Ambassador to the United Nations

Also in a statement on November 11, Mr. Donald Trump said: " I am honored to nominate Ms. Elise Stefanik to my Cabinet as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an extremely strong, tough and smart fighter for America ."

Responding to the nomination, Ms. Stefanik said she felt “truly honored” by Mr. Trump’s announcement. Elected to the House of Representatives in 2014, Ms. Stefanik was selected to chair the House Republican Conference in 2021 after former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney was removed from the post. Ms. Stefanik, 40, has since served as the third-highest-ranking member of the House leadership.

White House Chief of Staff

On November 7, Donald Trump plans to nominate 67-year-old Susie Wiles, his senior adviser and 2024 presidential campaign manager, as White House Chief of Staff. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to hold the position in US history.

In a statement at the time, Mr. Trump described Ms. Susie as "tough, smart, creative, and universally respected and admired." "I have no doubt that she will make our country proud ," Mr. Trump said.

Susie Wiles is a Florida political veteran who helped Ron DeSantis win his first race for governor. Six years later, she played a key role in Donald Trump's second White House victory.
