In a recent announcement, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brooke Rollins, a close associate and former White House aide, to serve as Agriculture Secretary. This nomination is the final piece of Trump’s cabinet appointments as he prepares to return to office. Rollins, who heads the America First Policy Institute and has a legal background in agricultural policy, will oversee a vital agency responsible for numerous programs related to farming, nutrition, and rural development. Her confirmation by the Senate is expected, given Republican control. Key issues ahead include tariffs that may impact farmers and the agency's essential safety-net programs.
