Western media sound the alarm over Trump's appointments

Western media is concerned about the first key appointments of President Donald Trump in the new administration.

Western media is concerned about the first key appointments of President Donald Trump in the new administration.

From the perspective of The New York Times, by appointing "loyal conservatives" to key positions, Mr. Trump affirms that he intends to carry out the difficult process that he declared during the election campaign, especially on immigration policy, surveillance of Muslims and with the work of law enforcement agencies.

The Washington Post’s team of journalists shared a similar opinion. In an editorial posted on the newspaper’s website, it said: Americans who are hoping for the protection of their former allies and who expect the new president to not violate civil rights in the interest of counterterrorism measures have every reason to worry about the politicians appointed by Mr. Trump to the above positions.

In the newspaper's opinion, these appointments most likely presage "the American way of acting in a crude and ineffective manner" against the Muslim world, "dangerous turn" towards Russia and the application of methods that violate international law in the fight against terrorism.

Both publications have published numerous articles in which the authors explain the many "dangerous" points of President Trump's appointees. In the near future, people are waiting for Mr. Trump to appoint two important positions in the Presidential administration: the position of Secretary of State and the head of the Pentagon./.
