Biden utser fler toppar till den nya administrationen
USA:s tillträdande president Joe Biden har utnämnt Deb Haaland till inrikesminister i den nya administrationen i Vita huset, rapporterar Washington Post.
Haaland, som nu representerar delstaten New Mexico i representanthuset, blir därmed den första ur USA:s ursprungsbefolkning att leda departementet.
Samtidigt väljs Michael S Regan till chef för den amerikanska miljömyndigheten EPA, enligt källor till både Washington Post och NBC News. Det har däremot inte bekräftats officiellt.
