Agriculture Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins led President Trump’s Domestic Policy Council and has White House experience with domestic and global environmental issues. Policy Solutions President Jay Truitt appreciates her international credentials. “That was during the same timeframe that they were going through the Paris Accords, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera,” said Truitt. “She was probably one of the lawyers that would look through what they could legally do and not legally do; that was her job in the past and now she’ll be doing it from the Department of Agriculture.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been a vocal critic of modern farming practices and wants to crack down on how food is produced. Truitt believes Rollins will be able to stand up to Kennedy’s influence. “I think one of the things she’ll bring to the table is making sure everyone stays in their lane. I like the idea that Mr. Kennedy is going to have to see her before he can see anybody else and that’s a good thing.”
