BREAKING NEWSTrump picks Florida congressman Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor for cabinet amid global conflict
Donald Trump has asked Congressman Mike Waltz of Florida to be his White House National Security Advisor, sources familiar with the decision tell DailyMail.com.
Waltz, a former Army Green Beret, has established himself as one of the foremost China hawks in the House and continues Trump's busy day of firming up his cabinet.
Among the various China-related bills he has co-sponsored are measures designed to lessen U.S. reliance on critical minerals mined in China. He's also known as a NATO skeptic amid its work during the war in Ukraine.
Waltz is on speaking terms with Trump and is widely considered to be a serious contender for secretary of defense.
Presidents often turn to Congress to fill top agency jobs, and Trump may well be temped to look there again, although the nature of the Senate majority, reclaimed by the GOP on Election Day, will be critical.
