Mike Waltz, a former Green Beret and Florida congressman since 2019, has been confirmed as National Security Advisor. He's the first Green Beret elected to Congress and strongly criticized Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal. Waltz backs Trump's "America First" platform, including skepticism of the UN and EU.
Mike Waltz is an Army veteran, the first Green Beret ever elected to Congress. He is confirmed. He will be serving— this has been confirmed by President Trump himself— as the top national security official. He'll be the national security advisor for the country. He'll be leaving the House after representing Florida since 2019. He's called for more. He shares President Trump's philosophy on the United Nations, on the EU. He's called for Europe to do more to support Ukraine and for the US to be more stringent with its support. He's lining himself basically with President Trump's America First ideals and values. And he also, and this was a big one, has been a staunch critic of the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan, as most of us should be, by the way.
