President-elect Trump, with over two months away from his inauguration, has already made up his mind for several key positions in his 2nd cabinet.
His most important cabinet member will be the Secretary of State, who will take charge of the nation's foreign affairs. Trump chose Florida senator Marco Rubio, who has been known to be an interventionist, especially in Israel. Trump hopes that Rubio will help his ambitions of ending the war in Ukraine while helping Israel in its long war against Palestine and Hamas.
He also nominated Lee Zeldin to be the Chief of the EPA. Zeldin will have an important role regulating environment laws while also harnessing the nation's resources.
For Secretary of Homeland Security, Trump chose South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, a Trump loyalist who embraces many of his border security policies. He also chose Tom Homan to be his Border Czar, a special position which he hopes will help secure the southern border.
Susie Wiles was Trump's first cabinet pick as the White House Chief of Staff. Wiles has played a big role in the Trump campaign.
Replacing Nikki Haley will be Elise Stefanik, who will become the nation's Ambassador to the United Nations. She is a Trump loyalist from New York.
