The elected US President Donald Trump nominated the nephew of the murdered US President John Kennedy and his former rival in Robert Kennedy Jr. to the post of Minister of Health and Social Services.
Trump’s decision announced on the social network X. “I am glad to declare Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the Minister of Health and Social Services of the United States (HHS),” the Republican wrote.
Trump believes that the Americans “suffered for too long from the industrial food complex and pharmaceutical companies that resorted to deception and disinformation in matters of public health and Kennedy will solve these problems”.
HHS will play an important role in ensuring the protection of each person from harmful chemicals, pushers, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives that contribute to a strong health crisis in this country, assured the elected president.
In order for Kennedy Jr. to begin to fulfill duties, his candidacy must be approved in the Senate.
The former democrat Kennedy joined the presidential race this year as an independent candidate, and after some time announced that he was filming his candidacy in favor of Trump.
Often appeared at Trump rallies and collected stormy applause. It is also known for claims against large pharmaceutical companies and pesticide production companies, a skeptical approach to coronavirus vaccines and efforts to regulate the quality of food products.
