Rodrigo Duterte Faces International Criminal Court for Human Rights Violations

The U.S. Senate has officially confirmed Doug Burgum as the new Secretary of the Interior with a decisive vote of 79 to 18. Burgum, a Republican and former governor of North Dakota, previously attempted to secure the Republican nomination for the presidency but withdrew early in favor of Donald Trump.
At 68 years old, Burgum gained significant wealth through his successful software company. His confirmation has generated expectations that he will closely align with and implement the energy policies championed by Trump. Notably, Burgum has indicated his intent to maximize energy and mineral production on public lands.
During his confirmation hearings, Burgum expressed a commitment to expand the auctioning of oil and gas drilling rights. He also plans to advocate for reforms aimed at streamlining the permitting process for energy projects, which could potentially accelerate their development.
In the United States, the Secretary of the Interior primarily oversees the management of public land rather than focusing on internal security matters, a role that differs from similar positions in other countries. Burgum's policies are anticipated to face challenges, even from within the energy sector, as Trump's approach to energy development has sparked debate.
As the new Secretary of the Interior, Burgum will play a critical role in shaping the future of U.S. energy policy, balancing the interests of various stakeholders while executing the administration's vision for increased energy production.
