Trump nominates Keith Sonderling as labor secretary

Washington — President Trump said Monday he will nominate Keith Sonderling to lead the Department of Labor permanently. 

Sonderling was elevated to the role in an acting capacity after Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer left the position in April. 

“Throughout his career, Keith has proven his dedication to delivering strong results for the Hardworking People of our Country, and I know he will do an incredible job in his new role,” Mr. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
