has picked Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., to serve as his
national security
adviser, according to four sources familiar with the decision.
Waltz is a Green Beret veteran who served in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa. He has represented a congressional district in Florida since 2019.
The
Wall Street Journal
first reported Trump’s NSA pick.
Waltz’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The role of White House national security adviser does not require Senate confirmation.
