Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller as his chief of staff, with the change due to take effect on Monday.

Cabinet members, including Robert F Kennedy Jr, Pete Hegseth and JD Vance, welcomed Miller’s promotion, while critics including Gavin Newsom and Krystal Ball condemned it as a sign Trump would not moderate his approach.
