Trump Abre Oficina Para Ideas Empresariales En El Gobierno Trump abre oficina para ideas empresariales en el gobierno Por: Catherine Lucey Washington, D.C. — El presidente de Estados Unidos,Donald Trump, anunciará el lunes la creación de una nueva oficina en la Casa Blanca, gestionada por su yerno,para renovar las funciones del gobierno utilizando ideas del sector empresarial. La oficina de innovación estará dirigida por Jared Kushner, uno de los principales asesores de Trump, e informará directamente al presidente. Según un alto funcionario de su gobierno, Trump anunciará la Oficina de Innovación Estadounidense de la Casa Blanca. El responsable habló bajo condición de anonimato porque no estaba autorizado a discutir sobre ella antes de su presentación formal.

Al fondo está un retrato del ex presidente Andrew Jackson, el que instaló Trump en los primeros días de su gobierno. (AP Foto/Alex Brandon, Archivo) Los planes para la creación del departamento fueron reportados por primera vez por The Washington Post. Entre los implicados en la oficina están el director del Consejo Económico Nacional, Gary Cohn; Dina Powell, asesora del presidente para iniciativas económicas y asesora adjunta de seguridad nacional; Chris Liddell, asistente del presidente para iniciativas estratégicas y Reed Cordish, asistente del presidente para iniciativas intergubernamentales y tecnológicas. Todos ellos tienen una amplia experiencia empresarial. Trump realizará el anuncio en el momento más bajo de su joven gobierno, días después de que la ley republicana para revocar la Ley de Cuidado de Salud Asequible, también conocida como “Obamacare”, fracasó en la Cámara de Representantes, revelando profundas divisiones en el partido y desgastando la relación con la Casa Blanca. Construcción de muro fronterizo de Trump enfrenta retos La creación del nuevo departamento se puso en marcha poco después de la toma de posesión, explicó el funcionario. El grupo mantuvo reuniones desde entonces y contactó con directores generales de varios sectores para encontrar vías para realizar cambios en los programas federales. Entre las áreas que esperan abordar están Asuntos de los Veteranos, la mejora del desarrollo de la fuerza de trabajo y la lucha contra la adicción a los opiáceos. Ivanka, la hija de Trump que está casada con Kushner y que tiene una oficina en el Ala Oeste aunque no posee un empleo oficial, se implicará en los temas en los que se centra, como el desarrollo de la fuerza de trabajo..

  • The Cybersecurity Policy Adjustment of the Trump Administration
    The Cybersecurity Policy Adjustment of the Trump Administration Zhang Tengjun ybersecurity emerged as a popular issue during the 2016 presidential election of the United States with the successive email leak of the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and the CDemocratic National Committee.1 Donald Trump, then the presidential nominee of the Republican Party, vowed to make cybersecurity an “immediate and top priority for my administration” if elected.2 Since taking office, Trump has made some adjustments to the existing US cybersecurity policy under domestic pressures from various sides. The characteristics of these policy changes and the underlying dynamics are worth our observation and analysis. Major Features of Trump’s Cybersecurity Policy Adjustment While the cybersecurity policy adjustment of the Trump administration experienced a dynamic process, it can be generalized that the concept of “America First” has been reflected both in the reinforcement of homeland cyber offensive and defensive capabilities and in the declining enthusiasm Zhang Tengjun is Assistant Research Fellow at the Department for American Studies, China Institute of International Studies (CIIS). 1 For relevant research, see Lu Chuanying, “International Cybersecurity Governance from the International Politics Perspective: a Case Study of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election,” Global Review, No.4, 2017, pp.33-48; David P.

  • Connolly: Lack of Trump Appointees Could Stall IT Modernization
    http://www.federaltimes.com/articles/connolly-worries-lack-of-trump-appointees-could-stall-it- modernization Connolly: Lack of Trump appointees could stall IT modernization By: Carten Cordell, June 7, 2017 For all of the bipartisan goodwill that modernizing the government’s information technology has garnered, there’s one thing that Gerry Connolly thinks can bring it to a halt: the executive branch. Speaking at the MeriTalk’s Cloud for Next-Gen Government conference on June 7, Rep. Connolly, D-Va., said that despite the legislative momentum behind the Modernizing Government Technology Act and White House support through recent executive orders, the movement to upgrade federal IT could still stall if the Trump administration doesn’t start appointing personnel to back it. “Frankly, there’s a big vacuum at the top,” he said. “We had hoped that the incoming administration might keep non-political technical people that were providing leadership in IT procurement and management like [former Federal Chief Information Officer] Tony Scott on board. They did not do that, and as a result, there is not really a champion at the top where you can say, ‘That’s his job or her job.’” According to the Partnership for Public Service, to date, of the 558 administration positions requiring Senate confirmation, the White House has nominated 80, with only 40 confirmed. MeriTalk founder Steve O’Keeffe noted at the event that only a third of the cabinet-level agencies had a CIO in place. The Trump administration’s IT modernization efforts have been platooned by a number of executives, including acting Federal CIO Margie Graves, Assistant for Intragovernmental and Technology Initiatives Reed Cordish and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who heads up the Office of American Innovation.

  • Assistants to the President at 18 Months: White House Turnover Among the Highest Ranking Staff and Positions
    Martha Joynt Kumar - Director, White House Transition Project and Emeritus Professor, Department of Political Science, Towson University Assistants to the President at 18 Months: White House Turnover Among the Highest Ranking Staff and Positions Martha Joynt Kumar, Director, White House Transition Project and Emeritus Professor, Department of Political Science, Towson University “It’s a difficult pace for many to keep up with. Look at how many people no longer work here [White House] …. [now] I think it’s a much more sophisticated, streamlined operation with fewer people.” Kellyanne Conway, interview with Eric Bolling, CRTV, 7/31/2018 If the most important resource a President has is his time, in second place is his staff. For it is a well-functioning staff that allows him to have the time to spend on his priorities with quality information and advice to back up his decision making process. Assistant to the President-level staff. By statute and by budget, the top-ranking class of commissioned White House officials are titled Assistant to the President. Currently limited with some flexibility to 25 staffers, Assistants to the President form the principals who provide policy recommendations to the President and constitute the most influential group of White House advisers a President has. Over the years, the numbers of Assistants provided for by statute has grown from 17 in the Reagan years to the 25 of recent years. Among those with Assistant to the President titles in most White Houses include the National Security Advisor, the Chief of Staff, the White House Counsel, the Press Secretary, top domestic and economic advisers, and other aides at the top of the staff ladder.

  • Assistants to the President: White House Top-Tier Staff Turnover During the First 17 Months1
    Assistants to the President: White House Top-Tier Staff Turnover During the First 17 Months1 Martha Joynt Kumar, Director, White House Transition Project and Emeritus Professor, Department of Political Science, Towson University • President Trump has the highest turnover of top-tier staff of any recent president at the 17 month mark. The figures for losses at the Assistant to the President level at 17 months are: Trump 61%; Obama 14%; George W. Bush 5%; Clinton 42%; George H. W. Bush 19%; Reagan 29%. • As of June 20, 2018, among the designated highest level staff, there are 19 of the original 31 Assistants to the President or the equivalent who have left or publicly announced they are leaving their posts. Additionally, six Assistants who came in as their replacements also left. Total: 25 Assistants to the President have left or indicated they are leaving their White House posts. • Twelve people remain at the White House who were the original staff member appointed to hold a position titled Assistant to the President. In varying degrees, all government institutions are hierarchically organized with a key group of staff at the top managing the decision making structure and personnel carrying out the orders coming from the top. In that way, the White House is no different from other institutions with a core of approximately two dozen people atop a framework of around 450-500 paid White House staff, plus detailees assigned to the White House from other government agencies. The top-tier White House staff are commissioned officers who carry the title Assistant to the President.
