House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that President-elect Donald Trump is appointing ‘disruptors’ to key roles in his administration, aiming to challenge the status quo. Trump’s picks, including Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have raised concerns amidst allegations and skepticism. His son, Donald Trump Jr., defended the nominees as competent and loyal. Chris Wright, a fossil fuel executive, was also selected as energy secretary, reflecting Trump’s commitment to boosting US fossil fuel production while environmental policies are increasingly scrutinized, highlighted by President Joe Biden’s Amazon visit.
