Trump Ally Urges De-escalation in Ukraine Conflict

Mike Waltz, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for national security advisor, has called for an end to the escalation of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and urged both parties to negotiate. Despite being critical of Russia, Waltz, like Trump, opposes increasing aid to Ukraine. He emphasized the need for a diplomatic resolution and warned adversaries against exploiting the transition period before Trump takes office. Waltz also praised Israel's response to Hamas and called for stability in the Middle East.
