US President Donald Trump has sparked confusion with a series of unexpected moves, firing federal workers involved in nuclear safety and bird flu prevention before promptly rehiring them.
Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette admitted to making mistakes in his decisions. The shake-up comes amidst a tumultuous period for the administration, as the US grapples with issues such as climate change and the ongoing pandemic.
Brouillette’s comments suggest that the department is taking steps to address its past errors. The Energy Secretary did not elaborate on what specific changes are being implemented.
The development highlights Trump’s propensity for making unconventional decisions that catch his administration off guard. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains unclear what other changes may be in store for the White House.
