US President Donald Trump has promoted Stephen Miller to become his new chief of staff, a move that signals a more confrontational approach as his administration prepares for potential clashes with Congress.
Miller is described as a loyal and outspoken partisan within Trump’s political operation. His elevation to the senior White House role places him at the centre of the president’s team and gives him a key position as the administration deals with lawmakers.
The appointment is likely to intensify tensions between the White House and Congress. The source material does not provide further details about the specific issues that could lead to disagreements, or about the timing of Miller’s formal assumption of the role.
Miller’s promotion indicates that Trump is preparing for a period of political conflict rather than seeking to reduce confrontation. Further developments are expected to depend on how the White House works with Congress under his leadership as chief of staff.
