Rollins highlighted her Texas upbringing and ranching and farming family background during confirmation hearings.

The USDA oversees big federal nutrition programs such as food stamps and school lunch. Project 2025, a right-leaning Trump agenda plan, aims to increase the work requirement for food stamps and reduce school lunch programs to cover only the most impoverished children. Although he wasn't involved in the writing of Project 2025, Rollins' role in ensuring that the taxpayer dollars are spent to the best on nutrition programs was criticized. Funding for USDA school meal programs came in at more than $50 billion last fiscal year, in sharp contrast with $27.6 billion for 2020. Texas turned down millions in federal funding to feed school children during summer, which was blasted by U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, who battled potential nutrition program cuts. The U.S. Senate voted 72-28 to confirm Brooke Rollins as USDA leader to the nomination. Rollins, a policy adviser at the White House and Donald Trump's friend, will lead an agency with 100,000 employees that oversees farm programs, food aid, and school lunches.

The help is arriving as farm incomes are stagnant, domestic nutrition programs are at risk of being cut, and there is a fight against federal reductions. Rollins previously was connected with a right-leaning Texas policy group that published reports that were very critical of farm subsidies and ethanol; she now supports ethanol. Rollins played it coy on the causes of and solutions to climate change during her nomination hearing, a stance queried by Agriculture Committee ranking member Amy Klobuchar. The American Coalition for Ethanol and House Agriculture Committee co-chairs Glenn "GT" Thompson and Angie Craig praised Rollins' nomination, noting timing is everything for the agricultural sector. President Trump signed into effect a bill increasing U.S. import tariffs to the same high level as any other country, a move branded by Trump an attempt to level the field of unfair trade. The move jeopardizes the economy to grow and balloon if others retaliate in the same manner. Aside from this, Trump also spoke about his potential discussion with Russia and Ukraine to end the ongoing war, without imposing any specific conditions on Russia.

Other than that, some of the policy choices his government undertakes are freezing the fund for wild fire prevention programs, requesting deporting illegal Indian immigrants, and selling F-35 fighter jets to India. Trump, in scandalizing his administration, unveiled that America's Federal research programs and Agency for International Development (USAID) are significantly reduced, and his government also reviews mass vaccination campaigns. His administration's policies and bureaucrats still ignite controversies on a gigantic myriad of fronts.
