Zinke is stepping up as the interior minister of the US

Ryan Zinke has informed the White House that he is stepping down as US Secretary of State.

According to a reporter from the Bloomberg news agency, Zinke came to his decision because of the question marks that had been put to his political functioning. Concerns include travel expenses incurred and potential conflicts of interest. A judicial investigation has been instituted for the latter.

Trump pointed out Mick Mulvaney on Friday as the new Chief of Staff of the White House as the successor of John Kelly, who stops at the end of this month.
