Trump's plans for policy & personnel
- YouTube

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: A Quick Take to kick off your week. Everyone, of course, talking about the incoming Trump administration. What it's going to mean in terms of personnel and in terms of policy. The latter, more important, but informed very significantly by the former. Couple of things I would say.

He is reportedly set to appointStephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff. Miller, a former Trump speechwriter and close adviser, is a stickler on immigration who helped formulate Trump’s proposals for the mass deportation of up to one million undocumented immigrants per year, as well as a review of current citizenship and naturalization policies.

Taiwan’s leaders know that President-elect Donald Trump expects US allies to act as clients, not dependents. Why, Trump has frequently argued, should US taxpayers bankroll another country’s defense if its own government, and its neighboring allies, aren’t paying their fair share? For Taiwan’s government, that means making clear to Trump as early as possible that it intends to invest heavily in the country’s security.
