MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President-elect Donald Trump said that Susie Wiles will become the chief of staff of his administration, the first woman to hold this position.
The previous Trump administration was criticized for its significant gender imbalance in favor of men, since there were only three women in ministerial positions in his administration, not including the CIA director.
"Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history," Trump was quoted as saying by his transition team.
The 2024 presidential election in the United States was held on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the 45th US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all major news organizations and analysts. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to her supporters.
The Electoral College will vote in accordance with the will of the voters on December 17, and the new Congress will approve the results of the vote on January 6. The presidential inauguration will take place on January 20.
