WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Congressman Mark Meadows will become the new White House chief of staff.

"I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one," Trump tweeted Friday night.

He also said acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney will become the US special envoy for Northern Ireland.

Meadows, 60, has been the US representative for North Carolina's 11th congressional district since 2013 and chaired the conservative House Freedom Caucus from 2017 to 2019.

Mulvaney, 52, has been serving as acting White House chief of staff since early 2019, replacing John Kelly. He also served as Trump administration's director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Mulvaney and Kelly were preceded by Reince Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman who assumed the role at the beginning of the Trump presidency.

The White House chief of staff oversees the Executive Office of the president.
