President-elect Donald Trump is considering North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to be his new “energy tsar”, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

Burgum is Trump’s preferred candidate for the role, the newspaper reported citing people familiar with the discussions, adding that former energy secretary Dan Brouillette is also a contender.

The new energy tsar role and its powers are not yet finalised, the FT reported.
