Jovita Carranza: President George and Trade Representative

jovita carranza: On Tuesday, the president-elect was set to field potential hires -- including a candidate for Veterans Affairs secretary, his most vital unfilled Cabinet position -- at the Palm Beach estate where he is spending the holidays, according to CTV. Luis Quinonez, who runs a company with military and health care ties, is said to be under consideration for VA secretary. Authorities in both countries were still investigating Monday when Trump issued a pair of statements condemning the attacks, the same day the Electoral College formally awarded him the presidency. Trump is also considering Jovita Carranza, who worked in President George W. Bush's administration, as his choice for U.S. trade representative. With just a handful of Cabinet posts to fill, Trump is facing some criticism for a lack of diversity in his senior team, which currently includes no Hispanics. Carranza served as deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration under Bush. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
