Donald Trump named Florida Congressman Michael Waltz as his next national security advisor, citing his previous White House and Green Beret service.

The former Green Beret and three-term congressman from Florida has established himself as a hawkish Republican voice on matters of national security.

Donald Trump's choice of Mike Waltz as his National Security Advisor has sparked curiosity given Waltz's extensive background in both military service and congressional affairs. His prior experience as a policy advisor in both the Pentagon and the White House adds further weight to his selection.
