Trump selects Brooke Rollins as agriculture secretary for second administration
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins, a former White House aide, to lead the Department of Agriculture in his second administration. Rollins has a background in agricultural development and law, and previously served as domestic policy chief. The USDA, founded in 1862, oversees farming, food quality, and nutrition across the U.S. It manages support programs for farmers and sets standards for school meals, impacting many Americans beyond just those in agriculture. Trump's agriculture policies remain unclear, but his previous tariffs affected farmers significantly. The new USDA chief may play a crucial role in addressing these challenges and ensuring food supply stability.
