特朗普总统为正在审议联合太平洋和诺福克南方公司拟议的715亿美元合并案的铁路监管机构提名了一名新的董事会成员，此前一个月他刚刚将一名民主党成员逐出董事会。
这一举动表明该交易很可能获得批准。特朗普政府高级官员本周早些时候与Union Pacific首席执行官Jim Vena会面并表达了对这项合并的支持，Vena在周三对投资者表示。
特朗普提名的新人选是Richard Kloster，他是运输咨询公司Integrity Rail Partners的总裁。参议院必须确认他的提名。Kloster没有回应置评请求。
特朗普上个月解雇了Robert Primus，这名民主党人曾在2020年被特朗普提名进入董事会，后来反对Canadian Pacific Railway和Kansas City Southern的合并。白宫表示Primus"不符合总统的美国优先议程"。Primus表示他计划对这一解雇决定提出质疑。
