Trump has nominated Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to the Department of Interior.

Doug Burgum has yet to be confirmed as the new leader of the Department of the Interior but a contentious Indian Country issue has already been dumped on his desk.

President Donald Trump announced the name change during his inaugural address, along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.
