Trump leans on czars for key policy areas

President-elect Trump is signaling he plans to lean on appointed czars to carry out his plans in key policy areas, specifically when it comes to immigration and energy production, centralizing power within the White House.

One of Trump’s first appointments after winning November’s election was Tom Homan as border czar. He has since said Doug Burgum, his nominee for Interior secretary, would serve as energy czar, and venture capitalist David Sacks has been tasked as a czar for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
