Ex-Fox host might get key role in Trump's transport shake-up plan

In a mid-november announcement Donald Trump picked Sean Duffy – an ex-Wisconsin lawmaker and Fox News personality to run Transportation Department. The former tv-host would manage a huge 110-billion-dollar budget plus whats left from Bidenʼs trillion-dollar infrastructure program (which started bout 3 years ago)

The role puts Duffy in charge of many transport areas: planes trains cars and public transit systems; his nomination needs Senate approval. The department has been real busy with green-transport rules lately – something that might change when the ex-tv personality takes over

Trumpʼs team already has some big-time changes planned: they want to dump Bidenʼs car rules that make companies cut bad stuff coming from cars by half in next 8 years. Plus theres talk about killing the $7‚500 money-back deal for people buying electric cars. The whole thing shows how Trump wants to change direction on green-transport stuff: its gonna be different from what we see now
