Donald Trump’s Cabinet: the names that are already confirmed for his team
Elon Musk, the deregulatory businessman against “massive waste”
After having positioned himself as a key player during the campaign, Trump confirmed the appointment of the owner of X and Tesla, Elon Musk, as part of his cabinet. The Republican leader announced that the magnate will be in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce “overregulation, unnecessary spending and restructure federal agencies.”
In any case, it will be for a fixed period since his work is expected to conclude “no later than July 4, 2026”, so he will only be part of the government for a year and a half.
Susie Wiles, the “ice lady” for Chief of Staff
Civil servant Susie Wiles will be the first woman to hold the position and was also the Republican’s campaign manager. During his victory speech in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump referred to her as “the ice lady” and noted that Wiles helped him “achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history.”
In Trump’s inner circle, Wiles is credited with his ability to impose discipline and order amid the chaos surrounding the president-elect. The editor of Florida Politics, Peter Schorschdescribes her as a woman of “southern friendliness” that hides an implacable firmness.
Pete Hegseth, the host of Fox News towards the Department of Defense
Donald Trump has chosen Fox News commentator and veteran Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense. Hegseth, critical of some measures within the Pentagon, could eliminate from the US army a group of generals identified by conservative sectors. Trump said that with his addition, the US military “will be great again.”
Mike Huckabee, from Arkansas to the US Embassy in Israel
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will take over as US ambassador to Israel. Adding to the administration’s pro-Israel stance, he previously argued that “there is no such thing as a Palestinian.”
Trump said of him that “Mike has been a great public servant, governor and faith leader for many years.” The magnate also added that Huckabee “loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel loves him. ¡“Mike will work tirelessly to achieve Peace in the Middle East!”.
Lee Zeldin, the former congressman who will go to the Environmental Protection Agency
In Trump’s words, former Congressman Lee Zeldin will ensure that “fair and swift” deregulatory decisions are made to unleash the power of American businesses. At the same time, would maintain “the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.

Marco Rubio, the senator who will go as Secretary of State
The senator Marco Rubio will be Secretary of Stateone of the most important roles in the cabinet. “Marco is a highly respected leader and a very powerful voice for freedom,” Trump said in a statement on social media.
The choice of Blond, son of Cuban immigrants, it is no coincidence. The Latino vote was fundamental to Trump’s victory in the elections against Kamala Harris on November 5, a demographic sector that in previous elections had leaned towards the Democrats and is increasingly positioning itself closer to the Republican Party. With this designation, the president-elect could consolidate his achievements among this group.
Tom Homan, the “border czar” for mass deportation
Former ICE Director Tom Homan was named by Trump as “border czar” in his next term. Homan will be in charge of monitoring the borders and leading a massive deportation operation, a key element of Trump’s immigration agenda, which seeks to expel millions of undocumented immigrants.
Trump assured that Homan will implement his deportation plan in a “humane” waystating that ICE will execute these actions in an organized and directed manner.
