Trump taps Brouillette as US energy secretary

摘要

President Donald Trump today nominated deputy energy secretary Dan Brouillette to replace Rick Perry as head of the US Energy Department, retaining a familiar hand to lead an agency with a $32bn budget. Brouillette has been serving as Perry’s second-in-command for more than two years, taking on roles on issues such as promoting LNG exports, scrutinizing energy infrastructure resilience and championing Trump’s “energy dominance” policy agenda.
