Susie Wiles has been appointed as White House Chief of Staff by newly elected President Donald Trump after winning the US election. This is Trump's first appointment to the White House. The British media BBC and the Israeli Times reported this in a report on Thursday. The Russian news agency Tass reported this news, citing the Israeli Times from Washington.


The White House Chief of Staff usually plays an important role in each president's administration.


Wiles was a senior adviser to Trump's election campaign, and Trump praised Susie at an election night event on Tuesday.


According to the Trump campaign, Wiles will be the first woman to hold the position. This incumbent essentially serves as the manager of the White House and is responsible for assembling the President's staff. A chief leads the staff through the Executive Office of the President and oversees all day-to-day operations and staff activities. These incumbents also advise the president on policy matters and are responsible for directing and overseeing policy development.
