Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff
· World · Hindustan Times, Times of India, Bloomberg
Stephen Miller, a long-time Trump adviser and current deputy chief of staff, has been named White House chief of staff, succeeding Susie Wiles, announced on November 7, 2026. Miller is known for his hardline foreign policy stance, particularly on Iran, where he praised recent US-Israeli strikes as a major military achievement that dismantled Iran's military leadership and opened the Strait of Hormuz. He also criticized the previous administration's Pentagon as 'woke' and argued that Trump's approach was more effective than any earlier US leader. The appointment follows the Republican Party's loss of congressional control in the November 2026 midterm elections, with Trump praising Wiles while emphasizing Miller's loyalty and influence on immigration and defence policy.
Why it matters
Miller's hardline views on Iran and Venezuela could reshape US foreign policy, directly impacting India's strategic interests in the Middle East and global non-proliferation efforts.
