Habba Mildon and Grenell Described as Locked in White House Feud

Alina Habba Mildon and Richard Grenell, described as two allies of President Trump, are locked in a feud inside the White House, according to The New York Times.

The White House is the office and residence of the president in Washington, where close aides and advisers work.

An ally in politics is a supporter who works alongside a leader. A feud is a prolonged disagreement, distinct from a routine policy debate. The American president leads the executive branch and is supported by staff who advise on domestic and foreign matters. Relations with other governments form part of that work.

Washington is the city where the White House stands. Reporters who cover the presidency describe working relationships among staff to explain how decisions are reached. Accounts identify people by alignment so readers who do not follow every name can follow the story. Mention of a topic in such an account means the topic is discussed in the reporting.

Senior staff work in close proximity and meet through the day. Personal differences in such a setting can become visible to colleagues and reporters. Foreign affairs reporting names the countries under discussion. Plain terms for institutions help readers outside the capital follow the story.

Attribution shows where a description comes from and distinguishes it from independent confirmation. That distinction helps readers weigh what is described and what is established. The executive branch carries out day-to-day administration.

Venezuela is a country. Venezuela is among the subjects covered in the account of Habba Mildon and Grenell.
