Trump Selects Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser

President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint Rep. Mike Waltz as his national security adviser. Waltz, a former Army Green Beret and a critic of China, has been a Trump ally and has served on key House committees related to military and foreign affairs. His role will involve shaping U.S. policy on global conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East. Waltz advocates for leveraging U.S. energy exports to influence Russian negotiations and calls for a cultural shift in defense procurement to incorporate new technologies from Silicon Valley.
