The Senate confirmed Doug Burgum as Interior Secretary with a 79-18 vote, bolstering Trump's fossil fuel agenda. Burgum, a former North Dakota governor, aims to streamline resource extraction from public lands. His past support for the oil and gas industry raises concern among environmentalists. Transitioning from Deb Haaland, who focused on renewable energy, Burgum emphasizes energy development for economic growth, while critics accuse the administration of neglecting climate issues. He will also head the National Energy Council and hold a seat on the National Security Council.
