Trump Chooses China Critic Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser

President-elect Donald Trump is set to appoint Republican congressman Mike Waltz as his national security adviser. Waltz, a former Green Beret and critic of China's activities in the Asia-Pacific, has a background in military and policy advising, having served in the Pentagon and as a counter-terrorism adviser. He has been vocal about the need for the U.S. to be prepared for potential conflicts in the region. This appointment is part of Trump's broader strategy to shape his administration's foreign policy team, with Marco Rubio also expected to be named as secretary of state.
