特朗普正式提名代理劳工部长基思·桑德林出任部长Trump Nominates Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling for Permanent Role

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于2026年6月29日通过社交媒体平台Truth Social宣布，他将正式提名现任代理劳工部长基思·桑德林出任这一内阁要职。特朗普在社交媒体帖子中对桑德林给予了高度评价，称其为“杰出的美国代理劳工部长”，并表示非常荣幸能提名他担任正式部长。这一正式任命目前已提交至参议院，正在等待参议院的最终投票确认。

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday, June 29, 2026, via his social media platform Truth Social, that he is nominating current acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling to lead the Department of Labor on a permanent basis. In his social media post, Trump expressed that it was his great honor to nominate Sonderling, whom he described as the outstanding acting secretary, to the permanent Cabinet position. The nomination has been sent to the Senate and is now pending formal confirmation.

特朗普在宣布提名的帖子中进一步赞扬了桑德林的职业生涯，指出他在过往的工作中已经证明了自己致力于为国家辛勤工作的人民带来强有力成果的奉献精神，并坚信桑德林在新岗位上会表现得非常出色。如果该提名获得参议院批准，桑德林将正式结束代理状态，全面接管劳工部，继续负责执行联邦劳工法律、管理劳动力项目并落实政府的各项就业议程。

In his announcement, Trump praised Sonderling's professional track record, stating that throughout his career, Sonderling has proven his dedication to delivering strong results for the hardworking people of the country. Trump added that he has full confidence Sonderling will do an incredible job in his new permanent role. If confirmed by the Senate, Sonderling will officially transition from his acting capacity to formally lead the department, continuing his oversight of federal labor law enforcement, workforce programs, and the administration's broader employment agenda.

基思·桑德林在联邦政府中拥有广泛的任职履历。在去年，他被特朗普总统从美国平等就业机会委员会调任至劳工部，担任副部长兼首席运营官。在当时由共和党控制的参议院投票中，他以53票赞成、46票反对的党派路线投票结果成功获得了这一副部长职位的任命确认。

Keith Sonderling brings an extensive career in federal government service to his nomination. Last year, President Trump tapped Sonderling from his position at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to serve as the Labor Department's deputy secretary and chief operating officer. His appointment to the deputy role was subsequently confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate in a 53-46 party-line vote.

在此之前，桑德林在特朗普的第一任总统任期内就已经在联邦政府中担任过多项职务。他曾在美国劳工部工资和工时司工作，并担任过该司的代理司长和副司长。此外，他还曾在平等就业机会委员会任职，这些在不同联邦劳工与就业机构积累的丰富管理经验，为他此次获得正式部长的提名奠定了基础。

Sonderling's experience in federal labor policy also spans multiple roles during Trump's first presidential term. Within the Department of Labor, he previously served as both the acting administrator and deputy administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. His prior tenure also included key roles at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, establishing a long track record of managing federal labor and employment standards.

基思·桑德林的提名是在前劳工部长洛里·查韦斯-德雷默于2026年4月突然辞职之后进行的。查韦斯-德雷默在离职前正面临着严厉的审视以及有关其在劳工部内部涉嫌不当行为的指控。当时，多家新闻媒体报道称，该部门的内部监察机构正在对她的行为展开调查。不过，包括哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网（CBS News）在内的部分媒体也指出，它们尚未独立证实该调查的具体存在。

The nomination of Keith Sonderling follows the sudden departure of former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who resigned from her post in April 2026. Chavez-DeRemer's exit came after she faced intense scrutiny and allegations of misconduct within the Department of Labor. According to reports from several news outlets at the time, her conduct was being actively investigated by the department's internal watchdog, although some news organizations, including CBS News, noted they had not independently confirmed the existence of the investigation.

查韦斯-德雷默的辞职导致了劳工部领导层的空缺，桑德林随后被任命为代理部长以填补这一职位。她的离职伴随着该部门的一段动荡时期，有关不当行为的指控以及内部监察机构调查的报道使她的任期蒙上了阴影。通过提名桑德林担任正式部长，特朗普总统旨在为该机构建立稳定的领导层，从而使劳工部摆脱围绕前部长突然离职所产生的争议。

Chavez-DeRemer's resignation created the leadership vacancy that Sonderling was subsequently tapped to fill on an acting basis. Her departure occurred during a turbulent period for the department, as the allegations of misconduct and the reports of the internal watchdog's probe overshadowed her tenure. By nominating Sonderling to the permanent role, President Trump seeks to establish stable leadership at the agency, moving past the controversy surrounding the former secretary's abrupt exit.

基思·桑德林积极响应特朗普总统的竞选承诺，致力于将高薪的私营部门工作岗位重新带回美国。他特别强调了国内制造业和建筑业就业岗位的激增，并将其归功于洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）和丰田（Toyota）等大型企业在美进行的重大投资。桑德林指出，这些投资为美国本土创造了大量急需的就业机会，有力地推动了国家经济的增长。

Keith Sonderling has actively aligned his leadership with President Trump's campaign promise to bring high-paying private sector jobs back to the United States. He has highlighted a notable surge in domestic manufacturing and construction jobs, attributing this growth to substantial investments made by major corporations such as Lockheed Martin and Toyota. According to Sonderling, these corporate investments serve as a key driver in boosting the American economy and expanding employment opportunities.

为了配合这一就业议程，桑德林重点关注加强对美国工人的技能培训，以帮助他们胜任这些高需求的岗位。他主张通过提升劳动力技能，让工人在不背负大学债务的情况下快速获得就业机会。如果其提名获得参议院批准，他将继续领导劳工部落实这些政策，通过促进产业投资和工人培训来支持美国劳动者并强化实体经济。

To support this economic agenda, Sonderling has emphasized the administration's focus on upskilling American workers to prepare them for these in-demand roles. He advocates for workforce development initiatives as a fast-track pathway for citizens to secure employment without accumulating college debt. If confirmed by the Senate, Sonderling will continue to direct the Labor Department's resources toward implementing these employment priorities, focusing on job training and industrial investment.
