US President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum will head a new energy council — on top of serving as his Secretary of the Interior.
The position will give Burgum a seat on the National Security Council, Trump added, although it remains uncertain if the National Energy Council will be based in the White House as well. Trump, who is set to return to the White House in January, has pledged to reverse the green policies of his Democratic predecessor President Joe Biden.
On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly said he would “unleash” the US oil sector by boosting production and curbing the move towards renewable energy pushed by Biden.
