Statement by the Democratic leader
Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the US House of Representatives, said that his party does not intend to work with Stephen Miller, whom President Donald Trump has appointed as the new White House chief of staff. The politician made the statement on the ABC television channel, as reported by Life.ru.
“There will be no possibility of cooperation whatsoever”
“Obviously, there will be no possibility of cooperating with Stephen Miller or with what he represents,” Jeffries emphasized. According to him, Miller's appointment signals the administration's intention to continue its previous political course. The Democratic leader also criticized the new head of the presidential staff, calling him one of the main architects of Trump's hardline immigration policy.
Who is Stephen Miller
Miller is considered one of the most influential advisers to the American leader. He has worked with Trump since 2016 and took an active part in shaping his immigration policy; before his promotion, he served as deputy White House chief of staff. As Life.ru previously reported, Miller will replace Susie Wiles, who had led the staff since the beginning of Trump's second presidential term. Miller is called one of the key ideologues of the Republican's immigration policy, including tightening US entry rules and the mass deportation of illegal migrants.
