Trump cabinet Nominee for agriculture secy
BBC :
Donald Trump has nominated longtime ally Brooke Rollins for secretary of agriculture, completing his cabinet roster.
He made the announcement Saturday late afternoon, tapping the head of Maga-backed think tank the America First Policy Institute for the job.
“As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country,” Trump said in a statement.
Her nomination marks the end of a whirlwind – and sometimes dramatic – spree of nominations to lead executive agencies.
Rollins has been a top Trump ally for many years, as the co-founder and president of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump right-wing think tank.
A former White House aide during the president-elect’s first administration, she served as director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council.
