China News Agency, Washington, April 8 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) US President Trump issued a statement on the 8th announcing that Carlyle McNee, the spokesperson of his 2020 campaign team, will serve as the White House press secretary. The current US Department of Defense Press Secretary Alyssa Fara will serve as the Director of Strategic Communications at the White House.

Kayleigh McEnany, who is about to celebrate his 32nd birthday, is Trump's fourth press secretary after Spicer, Sanders and Grisham. Grisham has returned to the East Wing of the White House a few days ago, serving as chief of staff and spokesperson for the First Lady of the United States.

Sanders, the former White House press secretary, said on social media that McNee and Farah were smart and capable, and they were Trump's "loyal fighters."

McNee, who was born in April 1988, although young, is considered a "senior" Republican. She studied at Harvard Law School and Georgetown University School of Foreign Relations. As a student, she entered the White House internship during the Bush administration. During the 2016 election, she often vocally supported Trump on TV.

In August 2017, McNee served as a spokesperson for the US Republican National Committee. In 2019, she joined the Trump campaign as a spokesperson.

"Trump has a press secretary who knows how to defend him." The New York Times said that it is expected that McNee's work in his new position will not change much-defending the president on TV. And her main responsibility, that of answering media questions at the White House, has been handled by the president himself.

Since March 11, 2019, except for the briefings of individual cabinet departments held at the White House, the White House's daily routine briefings have been interrupted for more than a year. During this period, it became normal for reporters to ask Trump questions in the noisy helicopter engine.

In the "unusual" period during the outbreak of the New Crown epidemic, the White House will hold an epidemic briefing in the briefing room every day from the end of February and will be presided over by Trump. He said at the press conference on the 7th, "One of the reasons for these conferences is because if I don't do it, people will believe in fake news. We can't make them believe in fake news." (End)
