President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brooke Rollins as agriculture secretary, completing his Cabinet selections. Rollins, a former White House aide and current CEO of the America First Policy Institute, will succeed Tom Vilsack. The Senate, controlled by Republicans, will need to confirm her nomination. Rollins has a background in agricultural development and has worked closely with Trump in the past. Trump's agriculture policies remain unclear, but his previous administration faced challenges with tariffs affecting farmers. The USDA, which Rollins will oversee, manages various programs related to farming, food safety, and nutrition.
