Trump indirectly gave Miller the national security advisor job
U.S. President Confirms Deputy Chief of Staff as Leading Candidate for White House National Security Advisor Role
According to a report by the English section of Webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Reuters, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the nomination of Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff, as a candidate for the position of National Security Advisor, stating that his appointment to the role is likely.
Last thursday, Trump fired Mike Waltz from the National Security Advisor post and appointed Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State—while retaining his current position—as Waltz’s temporary replacement.
Even though U.S. officials say they do not expect Trump to rush in permanently filling Waltz’s position, several potential candidates have surfaced in media reports.
the U.S.President commented on the matter: “I intend to nominate and appoint someone.” He added that he expects to fill Waltz’s role within approximately six months and that it will “probably be Miller.”
Trump further stated: “I think he (Miller) has already indirectly secured this job as he has a lot to say on many issues. Stephen is an extremely valuable person in this administration.”
Miller,as Deputy Chief of Staff,has previously played a key role in policymaking—especially on immigration—and is considered one of Trump’s most experienced and trusted advisors.(Read more)
