The nomination must be confirmed by the Senate, which will be controlled by Republicans when Trump takes office Jan. 20. Rollins would succeed Tom Vilsack , President Joe Biden’s agriculture secretary who oversees the sprawling agency that controls policies, regulations and aid programs related to farming, forestry, ranching, food quality and nutrition. Rollins, who graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in agricultural development, is a longtime Trump associate who served as his former domestic policy chief. She is president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, a group helping to lay the groundwork for a second Trump administration. People are also reading...

Rick Perry and ran a think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Rollins’ pick completes Trump’s selection of the heads of executive branch departments, just two and a half weeks after the former president won the White House once again. Several other picks that are traditionally Cabinet-level remain, including U.S. Trade Representative and head of the small business administration. Trump didn’t offer many specifics about his agriculture policies during the campaign, but farmers could be affected if he carries out his pledge to impose widespread tariffs. During the first Trump administration, countries like China responded to Trump’s tariffs by imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports like the corn and soybeans routinely sold overseas. Trump countered by offering massive multibillion-dollar aid to farmers to help them weather the trade war. President Abraham Lincoln founded the USDA in 1862, when about half of all Americans lived on farms. The USDA oversees multiple support programs for farmers; animal and plant health; and the safety of meat, poultry and eggs that anchor the nation’s food supply. Its federal nutrition programs provide food to low-income people, pregnant women and young children. And the agency sets standards for school meals. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has vowed to strip ultraprocessed foods from school lunches and to stop allowing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program beneficiaries from using food stamps to buy soda, candy or other so-called junk foods. But it would be the USDA, not HHS, that would be responsible for enacting those changes. In addition, HHS and USDA will work together to finalize the 2025-2030 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. They are due late next year, with guidance for healthy diets and standards for federal nutrition programs. ___ Gomez Licon reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Shows Support For New SongTreaty protesters at Parliament. PHOTO: RNZ Do not overlook the fact there is a third position on the Treaty Principles Bill Rob Hamlin writes. Few things have been as depressing as the recent media coverage of the Treaty Principles Bill. The desire to create an adversarial spectacle to support attention-grabbing headlines means media outlets apparently seek to identify just two sides to a debate on a very narrow issue. This aggressive bipolarisation process has been particularly unfortunate with regard to the coverage of the current debate on the Treaty Principles Bill, because there are three, not just two, specific and significant positions within the governing elite of this country with regard to it. In order to understand what the eventual outcomes of this process might be for the nation, it is essential to understand all three of these positions and their relationship to one another, along with the motivations of those who hold them. I will therefore attempt to summarise these positions, all three of which are predicated by this statement: "The Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill (1975) established the concept of ‘Treaty Principles’ for the Treaty of Waitangi, but did not define them. Instead, the expectation was that defined Treaty Principles would emerge subsequently via a common law process through rulings of the Waitangi Tribunal and the Courts." Position 1: The status quo Important Treaty Principles such as "partnership" and "Māori sovereignty" have now been firmly established via legal ruling/precedent. These common-law principles are increasingly applied via constitutional-level legislation that includes clauses requiring that Treaty Principles be adhered to. No change is necessary, or even possible, because these Treaty Principles, even though they are not formally defined, have superseded the sovereignty of Parliament. This is the position apparently held by Māori activists, large sections of the KC/legal community, Labour, Te Pati Māori and the Greens. Position 2: A full reset After 50 years there are still no consistently defined Treaty Principles. However, requirements to conform to these undefined common-law Treaty Principles are increasingly being incorporated within constitutional-level legislation. This creates the potential for unplanned, unpredictable, highly undesirable and possibly irreversible constitutional developments. The common-law process in this area therefore needs to be fully reset immediately by defining the Treaty Principles in publicly ratified legislation. This is the position apparently held by Act New Zealand (8% of parliamentary representatives), and by the general public who might eventually ratify it by a ratio of about two-to-one if recent polls are to be believed. This is the bipolar debate as it presented by the media, but of course the lists of adherents to the two sides of it reveal a glaring omission — National and New Zealand First have not said they are "for" either of these two positions. Between them these two apparently uncommitted components of the governing elite represent 80% of the ruling parliamentary group, the prime minister and the majority of the Cabinet. However, by word this group has said they are against the reset approach of Position 2, as both parties have categorically stated they will not support this Bill in its second reading. By deed they have indicated that they are also against the status quo of Position 1. The deed in question is their proposal to systematically remove all references to principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in existing legislation, dating back to 1986, that do not directly refer to specific Treaty settlement agreements. The words and deeds of National and New Zealand First thus suggest the specific nature of their critical and discrete third position in the debate. Position 3: Containment After 50 years there are still no clearly defined Treaty Principles. However, requirements to conform to these undefined common-law Treaty Principles are increasingly being incorporated within constitutional-level legislation. This creates the potential for unplanned, unpredictable, highly undesirable and possibly irreversible constitutional developments. This ongoing common-law process relating to the Treaty therefore needs to be fully contained at a sub-constitutional level by eliminating all references to general Treaty Principles in current and future legislation. With this third "containment" position revealed, everything the government is doing at the moment immediately makes sense. Under normal political circumstances, Position 3 would be considered to be extreme and would attract a considerable amount of political and media flack — but not when Act has Position 2 on the table. As long as Messrs Luxon and Peters stay well away from Position 2 (and they clearly are), what was a politically extreme proposal on their part thus becomes moderate — a classic positioning ploy. They are also able to stay outside of the structure of the bipolar debate that has been created by the media. The government can therefore look forward to at least six months’ peace and quiet within which to action Position 3 and fully eviscerate current Treaty-related legislation, while the doomed Treaty Principles Bill absorbs the flak and media attention in select committee. The sense of triumph/relief among the opponents of the Bill will likely supply the government with several more months to continue their containment work after they have eventually voted down the Treaty Principles Bill. It is likely even Mr Seymour would be satisfied with that outcome. After all, the legislation that is required to action Position 3 will have required his support. The media, by contrast, will likely be appalled once they eventually cotton on — especially as it is their mistargeted saturation reportage that will have largely provided the government with the opportunity. — Dr Robert Hamlin is a senior lecturer in the Department of Marketing, University of Otago.
