President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Zeldin has confirmed his acceptance of the role, expressing his commitment to restoring US energy dominance, revitalizing the auto industry to create American jobs, and positioning the US as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
Zeldin, who recently lost the 2022 New York governor's race, has maintained a close relationship with Trump, frequently appearing at Mar-a-Lago during Trump's 2024 campaign.
