Trump to nominate former Monsanto exec to top Interior position
Trump plans to nominate a former official at Monsanto to a top position in the Department of the Interior, the White House announced Monday.
Trump will nominate Aurelia Skipwith to be the director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Skipwith is currently the deputy assistant secretary for fish, wildlife and parks, a position she was appointed to last year. In that role, she is responsible for the protection of lands and water in national parks and the wildlife refuge system.
Skipwith is a biologist and lawyer who spent more than six years at the agriculture giant Monsanto. She joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2013.
