John Ratcliffe, former Director of National Intelligence, is expected to lead the CIA. Known for his commitment to national defense, Ratcliffe would likely focus on strengthening intelligence operations, supporting counter-terrorism efforts, and aligning intelligence priorities with national security goals.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy has been proposed to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency. With his background in technology and innovation, Musk’s role would focus on reducing federal spending, increasing operational efficiency, and introducing innovative strategies to improve government functions.
Ben Carson may take a leadership role at Health and Human Services (HHS). Known for his work in public health and administration, Carson would focus on streamlining health policy and potentially incorporating alternative health perspectives.
Marco Rubio is expected to lead the State Department, focusing on a foreign policy approach that emphasizes U.S. interests, strategic alliances, and international trade partnerships. The 'America First' policy will guide efforts to foster alliances beneficial to U.S. economic and defense goals.
Trump’s second term includes plans to restructure the Department of Education, shifting more control to the states. This approach is intended to allow states greater flexibility in managing K-12 education policies and adapting to the needs of their communities.
Economic reform is central to Trump’s vision, with policies that aim to support American businesses, enforce border security, and boost energy independence. High tariffs on imports, particularly from China, and investment in fossil fuel production are expected to be major components of this plan. The strategy includes increasing domestic manufacturing, enhancing energy independence, and creating job opportunities through deregulation.
