In his first personnel decision after winning the US election, Donald Trump has appointed his former campaign manager Susan Wiles as chief of staff in the White House. "Susie Wiles has just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history and was an integral part of my successful campaigns in 2016 and 2020," the US President-elect announced. He described Wiles as tough, smart and innovative.

According to the information provided, the 67-year-old will be the first woman to serve as Chief of Staff in the history of the United States. In this job, Wiles will have a lot of power in the White House. The office serves to regulate access to the Commander-in-Chief, making it one of the key positions for any government. As a political strategist, Wiles has been part of Trump's inner circle for years.

During Trump's first term, there were many resignations and dismissals - including in the office of Chief of Staff. He had a total of four.
