Donald Trump, the winner of the recent U.S. elections, announced on November 7, 2024, that Susie Wiles will serve as his Chief of Staff for his upcoming second term, starting January 20, 2025. Wiles, who will be the first woman to hold this position, played a crucial role in Trump's previous campaigns and is recognized for her extensive political experience.
Wiles, 67, from New Jersey, has been involved in political strategy for decades, including working with notable figures such as Congressman Jack Kemp and President Ronald Reagan. Her leadership in Trump's 2016 campaign in Florida was pivotal in securing his presidency.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to visit Peru and Brazil as part of official engagements. He will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima from November 10 to 16, 2024, followed by the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19.
Xi’s visits are reciprocations of recent trips made by Peruvian President Dina Boluarte and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to China. The relations between China and these Latin American countries are flourishing, highlighted by significant projects like the Chancay port in Peru and strengthened ties with Brazil under Lula's leadership.
