US President Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller, architect of his immigration crackdown, as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. Following historic Republican losses in the midterm elections, Trump moved his deputy Miller into the post, according to France 24. Wiles had been seen by some as a stabilising force in the White House, but with Democrats now controlling both chambers of Congress, Trump is reportedly seeking a more aggressive approach to pushing his agenda. BBC World reported that Miller is a loyal partisan and firebrand, and that the promotion sets up likely clashes with Congress.
