美国中文网报道 川普总统周五宣布,众议员马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)将接替米克·穆尔瓦尼(Mick Mulvaney)担任白宫幕僚长,成为川普任期内第四位担任这一职务的人。
据国会山报报道,川普在推特上宣布了这一消息,称他将任命穆尔瓦尼为美国驻北爱尔兰特使。
川普在推文中说:“我很高兴地宣布,国会议员马克·梅多斯将成为白宫幕僚长。我认识马克很久了,也和他共事过,我们的关系非常好。”
“我要感谢代理幕僚长米克·穆尔瓦尼如此出色地为政府服务。他将成为美国北爱尔兰问题特使。谢谢你!”川普写道。
穆尔瓦尼的辞职结束了外界对他任期的猜测,这几个月来,穆尔瓦尼在西区的影响力持续下降。
穆尔瓦尼自上任以来一直是川普在白宫最亲密的助手之一,是政府议程的可靠捍卫者。但最近几个月,他的作用有所减弱,一些接近总统的人士认为,他的离开是不可避免的。
梅多斯是川普在众议院最亲密的盟友之一,有传言称他可能会取代穆尔瓦尼。在川普被弹劾期间,他是总统的杰出捍卫者,经常出现在白宫的活动中,还和总统一起乘坐空军一号。
这位来自北卡罗来纳州的共和党人上月出任众议院监督和改革委员会(House Oversight and Reform Committee)高级成员,将于今年年底从国会退休。
穆尔瓦尼自2018年12月接替约翰·凯利(John Kelly)以来,一直担任川普的代理幕僚长。
News Flash! Meadows takes office, and trump appoints fourth White House Chief of Staff
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that representative Mark Meadows would succeed Mick as White House Chief of Staff, becoming only the fourth trump to hold the post, china.com.cn reported.
Donald Trump announced the appointment of Mulvaney as the US special envoy to Northern Ireland on twitter, according to the Capitol. "I am pleased to announce that Congressman Mark Meadows will be White House Chief of Staff, " Donald Trump tweeted. "
I've known mark for a long time, I've worked with him, and we have a very good relationship. " "I want to thank acting chief of Staff Mick Murwani for serving the government so well.
He will be the The Troubles's special envoy. Thank you!"Donald Trump wrote. Murwani's resignation ends speculation about his tenure, which has been waning in recent months.
Since taking office, Mulvaney has been one of trump's closest aides in the White House and a reliable defender of the administration's agenda. But his role has waned in recent months, and his departure is seen by some close to the president as inevitable.
Meadows, one of trump's closest allies in the House of Representatives, is rumoured to be in line to replace him. During Donald Trump's impeachment, he was a prominent defender of the president, appearing at White House events and riding with him on Air Force One.
The North Carolina Republican, who last month became a senior member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, will retire from Congress at the end of the year.
He has been acting chief of staff to John Johan Kighley since taking over from him in December 2018.
