Representative Michael Waltz has been selected as Donald Trump's national security adviser, placing him at the forefront of national security challenges, particularly regarding Ukraine and Russia's growing alliance.
Waltz, a retired Army National Guard officer, is an experienced congressman with a strong focus on national security, having chaired key military committees and advocated for a hawkish stance on China.
His position will involve addressing pressing issues including the U.S. strategy in the Middle East and the fallout from Afghanistan's withdrawal, reflecting his intense criticism of that operation.
The selection has raised concerns among lawmakers about the implications of appointing someone from the House of Representatives, which could trigger a new election and impact GOP dynamics.
