Trump announces picks for Army secretary, trade adviser, hostage envoy, NASA administrator and more

President-elect Donald Trump announced several more additions to his incoming administration on Wednesday, including his choices for Army secretary, trade adviser, hostage envoy and NASA administrator.

Daniel P. Driscoll of North Carolina, a U.S. Army veteran and venture capitalist, will serve as secretary of the Army. Driscoll is a senior adviser to Vice President-elect JD Vance who fought with the 10th Mountain Division as a Cavalry Scout Platoon Leader in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  

‘I am pleased to nominate Daniel P. Driscoll, from the Great State of North Carolina, to serve as the Secretary of the Army. As a former Soldier, Investor, and Political Advisor, Dan brings a powerful combination of experiences to serve as a disruptor and change agent,’ Trump posted on Truth Social.

 

Peter Navarro, who previously served as Trump’s trade adviser in the president-elect’s first term, will resume that role. Navarro returns to the White House as senior counsel for Trade and Manufacturing after his conviction on a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge, for which he served four months in a federal prison.  

‘I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man who was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it, will serve as my Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing,’ Trump posted on Truth Social. ‘During my First Term, few were more effective or tenacious than Peter in enforcing my two sacred rules, Buy American, Hire American. He helped me renegotiate unfair Trade Deals like NAFTA and the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), and moved every one of my Tariff and Trade actions FAST….’

Adam Boehler, a businessman and former government official, will be Trump’s special presidential envoy for Hostage Affairs, with the rank of ambassador. Boehler previously served as the first CEO of the United States Development Finance Corporation and had worked with the Trump administration to negotiate the Abraham Accords.

‘He has negotiated with some of the toughest people in the World, including the Taliban, but Adam knows that NO ONE is tougher than the United States of America, at least when President Trump is its Leader. Adam will work tirelessly to bring our Great American Citizens HOME,’ Trump said.

Continuing, Trump picked billionaire Jared Isaacman to head up NASA. Isaacman is a private astronaut and associate of Elon Musk, who will lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Isaacman is CEO of the payment processing company Shift4Payments and leads Polaris, a program that uses SpaceX vehicles to conduct private astronaut missions in orbit. 

‘I am delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),’ Trump said. 

‘Over the past 25 years, as the Founder and CEO of Shift4, Jared has demonstrated exceptional leadership, building a trailblazing global financial technology company. He also co-founded and served as CEO of Draken International, a defense aerospace company, for over a decade, supporting the U.S. Department of Defense, and our Allies. Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era.’

In subsequent social media posts, Trump announced that Gail Slater would serve as assistant attorney general for the antitrust division at the Justice Department, and Dr. Michael William Faulkender will serve as deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 

Additionally, Trump selected Monica Crowley, a former assistant treasury secretary and former Fox News analyst, to serve as ambassador, assistant secretary of state and chief of protocol for the United States of America. He also named his personal lawyer, David A. Warrington, to serve as the next head of the Office of White House Counsel, the chief attorney for the White House. 

Willam McGinley, a former White House Cabinet secretary from Trump’s first term, will also serve as counsel to the Department of Government Efficiency. Additionally, Paul Atkins, CEO of Patomak Global Partners, will be tapped as the next Securities and Exchange Commission chairman.
