U.S. Secretaries Will Have More Freedom in Public Communications Under New White House Chief of Staff

Heads of US agencies will have more autonomy in matters of public communications after the arrival of Stephen Miller as chief of staff of the White house. It's reported by sb.by.

According to TASS, according to an internal memorandum of the US presidential administration, the post of secretary of the White House cabinet will be transformed into the post of director for interaction with the Cabinet of Ministers. The task of the new head is to support the heads of departments.

- “Each Secretary of State is the best leader and representative of his or her department, and the new position will allow the White House to provide the cabinet with the necessary resources and support to achieve rapid, important, and lasting results for the benefit of Americans,” the memo said.

According to Fox News, under Miller’s predecessor, Susan Wiles, almost all public communications were under the centralized control of the White House. One former administration official said Wiles had warned ministers of possible responsibility for Republican defeat in the midterm elections. The reason would be uncoordinated public statements.

The Memorandum also changes the way policy decisions are made. The process will be coordinated by the White House’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs and the president’s assistant for national security. Their powers will be clearly delineated.
