US President-elect Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller, his longtime adviser and known advocate of hard-liner immigration policies, as the White House deputy chief of staff for policy in his new administration.
Vice President-elect JD Vance congratulated Miller on social media platform X, calling the choice "another fantastic pick by the president".
Miller is anticipated to assume a broader role in the president-elect's upcoming term, CNN reported, citing two sources familiar with the plans.
On Thursday, Trump announced that his campaign manager Susie Wiles will serve as his White House chief of staff.
