Trump Assembles Controversial Cabinet with Rubio as Sec. of State

Donald Trump is swiftly assembling his new administration, appointing individuals like Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior and Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, alongside controversial figures such as Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Marco Rubio is expected to be named Secretary of State, aligning with Trump's plans to pressure Ukraine into peace negotiations with Russia, although this has sparked concerns about possible changes in U.S. foreign policy. Additionally, Trump's selections, including Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, suggest a potential shift towards reshaping key governmental institutions, raising apprehensions about national security and public health. The administration is anticipated to pursue 'U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE' as part of its broader policy agenda, despite mixed international reactions to some appointments.
