In a post on his social network, Truth Social, the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, wrote that the former governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, and the former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, will not be part of of your new government.
In the post, Trump wrote that he “very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously” but that he “would not invite them” to serve in his administration.
“I will not invite former Ambassador Nikki Haley, nor former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump administration, which is currently in formation. I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”, he published.
Haley was the United States ambassador to the UN in Trump’s first term. She also ran against the president-elect to receive the Republican nomination in the party’s primaries, and was harshly criticized by him for not leaving the race early on, as the other candidates did.
During July, Nikki Haley gave a speech in which she stated that “some Americans don’t agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time” and concluded by saying that her message to these people was simple: “you don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time.” time to vote for him.”
Trump appreciated the fact that Nikki Haley ultimately supported him and made a plea for unity at the Convention. However, the former president still harbors animosity toward her due to her attacks on him during the Republican Party primaries, as well as her decision to stay in the race longer than Trump believed was appropriate, one of the sources said. .
Mike Pompeo
Pompeo considered a 2024 run but never officially ran for president against Trump. Many people close to the president-elect thought Pompeo did an excellent job as Secretary of State during Trump’s first term and argued that he deserved a seat at the table in a second administration. However, the president-elect’s relationship with Pompeo soured in the years following Trump’s departure from office. Pompeo appeared to needl Trump during a speech at CPAC last year, when he urged Republican voters to steer clear of “celebrity leaders” with “fragile egos.”
In recent days, he has privately questioned Pompeo’s loyalty and wondered whether he could trust him to implement his agenda, two sources familiar with the discussions said. CNN.
