Lindberg Emerges as Top Contender for WFP Post

USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg is emerging as the leading contender to become executive director of the United Nations World Food Program following Cindy McCain’s resignation. The U.S. is the WFP’s largest donor, and food aid programs often rely on American-grown commodities, directly affecting export demand and farm income. Neither Lindberg nor White House officials have commented on the potential appointment.
