Trump Appoints Doug Burgum as Interior Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to lead the Department of the Interior, where he is expected to advance Trump's agenda of increasing fossil fuel production on public lands. Burgum, known for his support of oil and gas drilling, will oversee a department responsible for managing a significant portion of U.S. land and energy resources. This nomination signals a shift from the current administration's focus on conservation and renewable energy under Secretary Deb Haaland.
