America. Donald Trump, who has won the US presidential election, is gradually busy forming his team. In this episode, he has entrusted Mike Waltz with the responsibility of making him his national security advisor. Waltz, the head of the India Caucus in the US Senate, advocates America’s defense strategy. He is a strong supporter of Trump’s promises to further strengthen the country’s security. Mike Waltz can play an important role amid the Russia-Ukraine war and the long-running war in the Middle East.
Mike Waltz played an important role in the historic speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s US visit in 2023. Let us tell you that there are a total of 40 members in the India Caucus of the Senate. It was formed in 2004 by the then New York Senator Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State John Cornyn. It is the largest caucus in the Senate.
Let us tell you that Waltz has been strongly criticizing President Joe Biden’s government’s decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan. His possible appointment could bring about a major change in America’s stance on China.
It is known that Trump had changed four NSAs during his first term in 2016. The first of these NSAs could remain in office for only 22 days. Trump removed the rest of the advisors, including Lieutenant General HR McMaster and John Bolton, due to differences on some policy issues. Trump’s last National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien remained in this position during the COVID-19 pandemic and the riots on Capitol Hill on 6 January 2021.
