U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly replaced White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, the current White House deputy chief of staff, on the 6th (local time).


That day, Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that Deputy Chief of Staff Miller would take over as White House chief of staff starting on the 9th, describing him as "one of my most trusted aides."

Regarding Wiles' future role, he said, "Susie Wiles, who has done a great job, will move to the 'Trump Political Operation,'" adding, "I am grateful for her dedication as chief of staff, and she has done a tremendous job." However, he did not explain the organization's specific nature or the details of Wiles' future role.


The appointment was made abruptly three days after Republicans lost their majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to the Democrats in the midterm elections on the 3rd. Political circles are closely watching the move, as Trump has replaced Wiles, who oversaw the White House's operations during his second term, with his close ally Miller.



Earlier, major U.S. media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), reported, citing people close to Trump, that he was likely to begin reshuffling the White House and Cabinet following the election defeat. With Trump replacing his chief of staff as the first step in his efforts to renew his administration, speculation is growing that further Cabinet changes could follow in succession.
