In his message on social networks, the head of state called the native of Tashkent a "great friend," noting his contribution to presidential campaigns, media projects and personnel policy.
"Sergio's role as director of the Personnel office has been key to fulfilling the unprecedented mandate we have received from the American people. For the most populous region in the world, I needed someone I can fully trust to implement my program and help us make America great again," wrote Donald Trump.
For reference: Sergio Gore was born in Tashkent in 1986, and was named Sergey Gorokhovsky at birth. He currently heads the White House Human Resources Department and will retain this post until the senators confirm his new position.
