(Reuters) – Newly confirmed U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Friday morning that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team has been operating at the agency for “a few weeks” and that she welcomed their efforts.
Rollins was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday.
Speaking at a welcome event at the U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters, Rollins said she was proud to welcome the cost-cutting team to the agency.
“We know that that work will make us better here at USDA. It will make us stronger, it will make us faster, and it will make us more efficient,” she said.
Rollins said she expected full access for DOGE from all USDA teams.
