US President-elect, Donald Trump, has awarded
key roles in his incoming team to a top Republican party official and a
conservative media chief.
Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Reince Priebus,
will be his Chief of Staff while Stephen Bannon, from the right-wing
Breitbart News Network, will serve as Mr Trump’s Chief Strategist.
In a statement on Sunday afternoon, the transition team emphasized
that the two men would work “as equal partners to transform the federal
government”.
Mr Trump described Mr Priebus and Mr Bannon as “highly qualified
leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a
historic victory”.
Mr Bannon said on Sunday: “I want to thank President-elect Trump for
the opportunity to work with Reince in driving the agenda of the Trump
administration.
“We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led
to victory. We will have that same partnership in working to help
President-elect Trump achieve his agenda.”
