The US Senate voted in favor of the appointment of a Republican Ryan Zinke head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Thus, the Republicans were able to overcome the protests of Democrats who were unhappy with the appointment Zinke, who is a candidate for President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Republican Zinke is a member of the US House of Representatives from Montana. 55-year-old Zinke will deal with the protection of America's national parks and monuments, as well as research fields on federal lands. The main function of this ministry in the United States is not security, and land management.

It was reported that the US president Donald Trump offered the post of Minister of Internal Affairs of Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke, former commander of fur seals.
