US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday (June 29) that he would nominate Keith Sonderling, who is acting labor secretary, to take on the role permanently, which would require Senate approval. "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," Trump said in the social media post.
