Doug Burgum Named Interior Secretary, Sparking Environmental Concerns

Environmental groups are alarmed by Donald Trump's nomination of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as the US interior secretary, fearing increased oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Burgum, who has ties to the fossil fuel industry, would oversee national parks and relations with Native American tribes if confirmed. Critics argue his appointment could lead to the exploitation of public lands, despite his past acknowledgment of climate change and a pledge for North Dakota to be carbon neutral by 2030.
