-US President-elect Donald Trump announced key members of his incoming administration, including Senator Marco Rubio as potential Secretary of State, Congressman Michael Waltz for National Security Advisor, and Tom Homan as the “border czar” focused on mass deportations.
-Rubio and Waltz, both with hawkish views on China, will help shape Trump’s “America First” foreign policy, focusing on reducing military entanglements and addressing China’s economic and military rise.
-Trump’s administration is prioritizing immigration reform with Homan overseeing deportations, and Stephen Miller is set to be Deputy Chief of Staff. Trump also plans to slash climate regulations with Lee Zeldin proposed for EPA head.
-Trump is pushing for Senate confirmation of key positions, including Rubio and Zeldin, but is also considering bypassing oversight by making recess appointments, demanding loyalty from Republican senators.
-Zeldin’s proposed role as EPA head signals Trump’s intention to roll back environmental regulations and focus on boosting US energy dominance, auto industry revitalization, and leadership in AI, while maintaining clean air and water standards.
