Trump Picks Military Hero Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor

Mike Waltz

Soon to assume his role in the Oval Office, Donald Trump officially designated Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida as his pick for national security advisor. Trump proudly introduced Waltz’s new role in a recent communiqué, expressing his excitement as he prepares to work closely with him. Waltz, known for his illustrious career in politics, is also the first Green Beret to ever take up a congressional role. His tenure in both the Pentagon and the White House have shaped him into a formidable representative.

The incoming president was quite keen in highlighting Waltz’s impressive military career. Spanning over two decades, Waltz’s military service left a robust legacy, marked by the courage and determination that led to him receiving four Bronze Stars ? two of which were specifically for exceptional bravery. His experience and knowledge of the military, Trump believes, makes him an ideal candidate for the role.

Rising through the ranks and retiring as a Colonel, Waltz’s career was characterized by his strong leadership. Trump emphasised that the decorated veteran was far more than just an experienced military officer. He further touched on Waltz’s profound understanding of national security, his status as a successful author, and his expertise on threats originating from several global players – specifically naming China, Russia, Iran and universal terrorism.

Waltz is also known for backing Trump’s foreign policy strategy, coined the ‘America First Foreign Policy’. Trump is confident that Waltz will be an effective advocate for the country’s mission, which is to promote peace while maintaining a powerful national defense.

Currently, Waltz is actively engaged in the arena of defense, with senior tasks within several major committees in the House. He is a respected member of the House’s armed services and foreign affairs committees, and also plays a significant role in its permanent select committee on Intelligence. His distinguished academic honours from the Virginia Military Institute fortify his competence in these fields.

Waltz’s gallant service in the Special Forces took him around the globe, with deployments in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa. His widespread exposure to the world, compounded with his deep understanding of regional politics and military strategy, aids his comprehensive perspective on the complex diplomatic landscape.

The national security advisor position is notably impactful in any presidential term. This role involves vital briefings to the President on matters of national security, fostering collaboration among national security agencies, and implementing the President’s defined national security strategies. Perks of such a role include not requiring the traditional Senate approval.

Known for his resolute attitude towards China, Waltz is likely to use this stance to uphold the principle of peace through strength, an approach central to U.S. foreign policy. It is anticipated that his firm perspective will prove beneficial in navigating geopolitical entanglements.

In a recent discussion, Waltz brought attention to a pressing issue: American captives trapped in Hamas-controlled areas. He is deeply concerned about the seven American hostages still held captive in Gaza’s underground. When inauguration day comes, these nationals will have been in captivity longer than the American hostages held by Iran in 1979.

In what appears to be a critique of the current administration, Waltz voiced his concerns about the Biden and Harris’ apparent leniency towards Iran. He considered their approach of offering concessions in exchange for cooperation to be a failure.

Waltz believes that Trump understands the importance of crippling Iran financially to prevent the funding of the terrorist organizations that it supports. This approach of limiting resources aims to disable Iran’s capacity to fund regional terrorist activities or even target Israel ? a key ally ? with missile strikes.

He further lauds the Trump administration’s contributions to Israel, from the recognition of the Golan Heights to the significant transfer of the US embassy. Waltz is of the firm belief that no U.S. President has extended more support towards Israel than Trump.

Waltz emphasizes the significance of the peace pacts that were inked just four years earlier on the White House lawn. It’s something he not only cherishes but symbolizes as part of the Trump administration’s diplomatic victories.

As Waltz prepares for his new role as Trump’s national security advisor, the future of U.S. foreign policy awaits a potential shift. With Waltz’s extensive military and geopolitical experience, it becomes interesting to witness his role in the shaping of America’s global influence.
