Mike Waltz tapped to be Trump's national security adviser

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Mike Waltz for a role in his administration due to Waltz's military expertise, conservative credentials, and commitment to national security—values aligned with Trump’s agenda. Waltz, a former Green Beret and congressman from Florida, has consistently advocated for a robust defense policy, often emphasizing the importance of countering foreign threats, particularly from China and Russia. Trump values loyalty and firm stances on national defense, making Waltz a fitting candidate to reinforce his administration’s objectives. Waltz’s background in military service and defense policy is expected to strengthen Trump’s commitment to “America First” principles.

Trump likely anticipates that Waltz will play a critical role in bolstering the administration's defense initiatives, advising on strategic military decisions, and contributing to a proactive approach to national and global security. Trump also expects Waltz to demonstrate resilience in navigating Washington’s complex political landscape while remaining dedicated to Trump's vision for a strong, secure America.
