President-elect Donald Trump said he intends to nominate North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum to serve as secretary of the Interior.
Trump made the announcement Thursday at a gala for the America First Policy Institute held at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
“I won’t tell you his name. It might be something like Burgum,” Trump said. “He’s going to head the Department of Interior, and he’s going to be fantastic.”
