  • Trump picked industry executive Chris Wright as his nominee to be Energy secretary and to join a new Council of National Energy.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's intention to nominate Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy and a significant donor to Trump's campaign, as the next Secretary of Energy if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. Chris Wright, who has been vocal about his support for Trump, notably contributed $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. His potential appointment is seen as part of Trump's strategy to leverage his influence within the oil and gas industry, aiming to reverse Biden administration policies that have been criticized by the sector. Wright's background includes a PhD in physics from MIT, and he has been a proponent of hydraulic fracturing, aligning with Trump's energy policies favoring fossil fuels. This nomination reflects Trump's ongoing relationship with the energy sector and his policy direction towards deregulation and support for traditional energy sources.
