The United Nations appoints Lindberg—a nominee linked to President Donald Trump—to head the Rome-based World Food Programme (WFP). The new leadership follows the departure of the agency’s prior head.
Lindberg succeeds Cindy McCain, who steps down from the role for health reasons. WFP is a UN agency focused on providing food assistance and related humanitarian support. The sources describe the transition as a change in WFP’s top leadership, with the appointment moving Lindberg into the position previously held by McCain.
Across the outlets provided, the core focus is consistent: WFP appoints Lindberg as its next executive head, and the change takes place after McCain’s health-related resignation. One outlet frames Lindberg as a Trump nominee, while both emphasize the succession from Cindy McCain and the agency’s Rome base.
