Before leading the CIA, Petraeus was top U.S. commander in Iraq and led NATO forces in Afghanistan.

But he was forced to resign from the CIA in disgrace in 2012 after leaking classified information to his biographer, with whom he was having an affair.

Despite Petraeus' past, Trump tweeted that he was "very impressed" with the retired general.

Republican officials say Trump has also decided on another cabinet appointment - the secretary of health and human services. His choice is said to be Georgia Representative Tom Price, who has been a leading critic of President Barack Obama's health care law, commonly known as Obamacare.

Trump has pledged to repeal Obamacare, although he has indicated that there are certain parts of the program he believes should be retained.

In addition to Petraeus, Trump is reported to be considering several other politicians and diplomats for the secretary of state post. They include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, Republican Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Corker, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.美國當選總統川普星期一會晤了另一位可能的國務卿人選-前中央情報局局長戴維∙彼得雷烏斯,不過彼得雷烏斯如果被提名,將面臨參議院的嚴肅質詢。

彼得雷烏斯擔任中央情報局局長前是美國駐伊拉克最高指揮官,並曾在阿富汗領導北約部隊。2012年彼得雷烏斯因向他的傳記作者和情婦泄漏機密而被迫辭去中情局局長職務。

不過川普表示,他對彼得雷烏斯的資歷感到非常敬佩。

共和黨官員透露,川普決定任命來自喬治亞州的聯邦衆議員湯姆∙普萊斯擔任衛生與公共服務部部長。普萊斯議員是奧巴馬醫保的堅定反對者之一。

川普曾表示要推翻奧巴馬醫保,不過他透露,奧巴馬醫保中的有些條款可以保留。

除彼得雷烏斯外,川普考慮的國務卿人選還包括前紐約市長朱利安尼,前美國駐聯合國大使博爾頓,參議院外交委員會主席、共和黨參議員鮑勃∙考克和前馬薩諸塞州長羅姆尼。
