Trump names oil and gas advocate to lead agency that manages federal lands
Briefly

Donald Trump has nominated Kathleen Sgamma, a prominent figure in the oil and gas industry, to lead the Bureau of Land Management, which oversees a vast amount of public lands in western states. Her appointment aligns with Trump’s agenda to increase fossil fuel production and reduce environmental restrictions put in place by the previous administration. If confirmed, Sgamma will play a crucial role in reversing policies aimed at curbing oil and gas drilling, which were prioritized during Biden's presidency, and will work under Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to advance energy dominance in the U.S.
Kathleen Sgamma’s nomination highlights Trump’s commitment to expanding fossil fuel production on public lands, challenging Biden’s efforts to address climate change.
If confirmed, Sgamma will oversee a quarter-billion acres of land and implement Trump’s agenda, significantly shifting U.S. energy policies back toward fossil fuels.
