In a move that signals a potential shift in the Trump administration’s national security strategy, Rep. Mike Waltz, a Republican from Florida, has been offered the position of National Security Advisor. This news, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was confirmed by a source to Fox News Digital.
Waltz, a retired Green Beret and veteran of the Iraq War, has been a vocal supporter of President Trump and a prominent figure in his 2024 campaign. As a leading figure in the Veterans For Trump coalition, Waltz has played a key role in the President’s efforts to connect with military voters.
His background includes experience as a policy advisor to former Defense Secretaries Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates, demonstrating a deep understanding of national security policy. As the first retired Green Beret to serve in Congress, Waltz brings unique insights and expertise to the role.
If Waltz accepts the offer, he will be replacing the current National Security Advisor, who has been a controversial figure within the administration. Waltz’s appointment could signal a shift in focus towards a more military-centric approach to national security issues.
The appointment is still pending, and it remains to be seen whether Waltz will accept the offer. However, his selection for the role signifies the importance of military experience and loyal support for the President within the Trump administration’s national security team.
