Mr. Waltz has emphasized the need for a robust counterterrorism strategy, arguing, "What no one can ever do for me, including this administration right now, is articulate a counterterrorism plan that's realistic without us there." He believes that a strong U.S. presence is crucial in the fight against terrorism, reflecting the hawkish approach he advocates in Congress and his previous military experience.
As a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, Mr. Waltz has not only focused on traditional national security threats but also held NATO allies accountable for their military contributions, stating that they need to meet their spending commitments. This mirrors the tough stance of the Trump administration regarding international alliances.
