Pompeo and Haley, who advocated for military aid to Ukraine, will not be part of Trump's administration.

This is reported by Reuters.

In social media, Trump stated that he enjoyed working with them in the past and thanked them for their service to the country; however, he will not invite them to the new administration.

Haley responded to this news, expressing pride in her work with Trump and at the UN, and added: “I wish him and all who serve great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years.”

Mike Pompeo, who was one of the candidates for the new Secretary of Defense position, has not yet responded to this news, and Reuters was unable to reach him for comments.

What is known about these Republicans?

Nikki Haley is the former governor of South Carolina and a former U.S. ambassador to the UN. This year, she ran for the U.S. presidency as a Republican but lost the primaries to Donald Trump. Haley has repeatedly emphasized her support for Ukraine, highlighting that Ukraine's victory in the war with Russia serves U.S. interests.

Mike Pompeo served as Secretary of State during Donald Trump's first presidency and previously headed the CIA. He is also known for his support of Ukraine and has advocated for Ukraine’s immediate accession to NATO, so that the EU bears the main burden of the war, and the reconstruction of Kyiv should be funded by Russian reparations.
