New York, Nov 9 (EFE).- The future president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Saturday on social networks that he will not have the former United States ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley or the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in his new Administration.
“I will not invite former ambassador Nikki Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump Administration, which is currently being formed,” the magnate said in a post on his own social network, Truth Social.
Regarding both figures, who participated in his previous Executive (2017-2021), Trump added that “I really enjoyed and appreciated working with them before and I would like to thank them for their service to our country”, but on this occasion they will not have a place in his Government. .
Pompeo seemed to have more chances of joining Trump for a second term, but the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) ended up being publicly discarded by the Republican leader, who, as was customary in his first presidency, has begun to use social networks again to reveal appointments.
Pompeo was even considered a potential Republican presidential candidate, but in April 2023 he announced that he would not compete for the party’s nomination, which Trump ultimately won with great superiority.
For her part, Haley, also the former governor of South Carolina, did run in the Republican primary process and was the one who lasted the longest in the race with Trump until she ended up giving up the baton when she was outmatched.
Haley was not involved in Trump’s campaign, but she did end up publicly supporting him, despite harshly criticizing him during the party’s primaries.
US media have already reported on Trump’s efforts in recent days to meet with potential candidates to serve in his Administration and have them confirmed long before his inauguration as president, scheduled for January 20.
