Trump picks combat veteran for key White House security role

Anonymous sources close to Trumpʼs team say that Mike Waltz‚ a Florida-based GOP rep and ex-Special Forces member got picked for national-security adviser role (which is one of the top-spots in any administration)

Waltz‚ a fifty-year old combat-tested lawmaker has made his name by speaking up about foreign-policy matters: he thinks China got stronger during Bidenʼs time in office and doesnt agree with how the White House managed global issues. The rep from sunshine state pointed out several key-points that need fixing:

  • U.S backing of Ukraine needs clear end-goals
  • Afghanistan pull-out was done wrong
  • Most NATO countries dont pay their fair share; only less than 50% meet the allianceʼs defense-spending targets

His background in military ops and time in Congress made him stand out as top-pick for this position — sources say Trumpʼs team looked at several candidates before making their choice. The final decision shows how the upcoming administration wants to mix real combat know-how with policy-making skills
