Trump names Brooke Rollins as agriculture secretary completing his cabinet picks
ndtv.com —
Donald Trump has selected Brooke Rollins as his agriculture secretary, completing his cabinet appointments ahead of his return to office in January. Rollins, a loyalist and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, has previously led Trump's Domestic Policy Council. Rollins will oversee a large agency responsible for farm programs, food safety, and nutrition assistance for over 40 million people. Her appointment may lead to conflicts with Trump's health secretary pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who opposes corporate agriculture. Concerns have arisen regarding Trump's transition process, as he has not signed necessary agreements required by law. This delay could hinder background checks for key national security roles in his administration.
