USA: Trump's chief of staff Wiles leaves the White House

Washington. A few days after the Republicans' devastating election debacle, US President Donald Trump is restructuring his inner circle of power in the White House. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who also led Trump's presidential campaign, is leaving the post, Trump announced on the Truth Social platform. As of Monday, he is replacing the previous deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, who is behind the president's aggressive migration policy.

In the congressional elections, the Republicans lost their majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives to the Democrats. This is a devastating result for Trump, who made the election a vote on his policies. Since then, positional battles have been going on in the Republican Party over its future direction. There was also speculation as to whether Trump would reorganize his cabinet and his circle of power in the Oval Office.

Wiles is now obviously the first case. However, it should remain in Trump's political environment. Wiles had already submitted her resignation on Thursday evening, US broadcaster CBS News reported, citing an insider.

It was announced in the spring that Wiles had breast cancer. “As one of my closest and most important advisors, Susie is a strong individual and deeply committed to serving the American people,” Trump wrote at the time. In September, Wiles announced that he had won his battle against the disease.

As chief of staff, Wiles was responsible for organizing the president's day-to-day administration. The 69-year-old political strategist is considered extremely loyal and discreet. Wiles was the first woman to hold the post and was previously, among other things, Trump's campaign manager.

Wiles came into the public eye in December because of an article in Vanity Fair. In it, Wiles judged her boss surprisingly bluntly and harshly. Trump has the “personality of an alcoholic,” she said, for example. The magazine did not quote the entire sentence from the conversation at this point. Wiles later accused the magazine of taking statements out of context.
