Read our privacy policy Donald Trump has asked Republican Florida congressman Mike Waltz to serve as his national security adviser, multiple news outlets report. Reacting to the reported offer, former Florida governor Jeb Bush praised Waltz on X as a “great choice” and a “patriot.” If Waltz joins the Trump White House, he’ll confront a number of complicated national security issues, including Israel’s expanding regional war with Hamas and Lebanon, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and competition with China. Or until the Putin regime collapses?” Waltz has been a sharp critic of the Biden administration’s national security policy on issues like the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and Chinese spying in the U.S. His wife, Dr. Julia Nesheiwat, served as Homeland Security Adviser in the Trump administration. And there is a whole slew of new technologies from Silicon Valley and elsewhere that are really chomping at the bit to help with our defense and security issues, and they can’t break through the bureaucracy.” The Trump transition team has filled a number of key positions in recent days, choosing New York Republican Representative Elise Stefanik to serve as ambassador to the UN, anti-immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, Tom Homan his border czar, and former New York Republican Representative Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA.
