White House Overhauls Surface Transportation Board

The White House has removed Robert Primus from his position on the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, citing a misalignment with President Donald Trump's agenda, according to an official statement made on Thursday.

White House spokesman Kush Desai announced that the administration plans to appoint new members to the board, emphasizing a desire for more qualified individuals to advance its goals.

This move underscores a broader effort by the administration to ensure that key regulatory positions are held by individuals aligned with its strategic objectives.
