President-elect Donald Trump made significant strides in building his administration on Wednesday, announcing the appointment of retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg as special envoy on Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg, who previously served as the chief of staff on the National Security Council during Trump’s first term, will now take on a critical diplomatic role amidst the ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe.
This move followed a series of other key appointments, including Jamieson Greer as U.S. Trade Representative, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to lead the National Institutes of Health, and Kevin Hassett as director of the White House National Economic Council. Trump also named Jim O’Neill as deputy secretary of health and human services and John Phelan as secretary of the Navy. These selections reflect Trump’s priorities as he prepares to take office and focus on his administration’s approach to global issues, trade, and domestic economic policy.
