Trump Appoints Rollins as Agriculture Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brooke Rollins, president of the America First Policy Institute, as the Secretary of Agriculture. Rollins, who served in the Trump administration's first term, will oversee a department crucial for American farmers, with responsibilities spanning from food safety to rural development. Her appointment completes Trump's cabinet selections, pending Senate confirmation. Rollins's experience includes a background in agriculture studies at Texas A&M University and a family history in farming. Critics express concern about potential cuts to programs like SNAP, central to the Department’s budget. The nomination reflects Trump's broader policy priorities, including reducing farm subsidies and environmental regulations.
