U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has made two bold moves, appointing retired Army Colonel Mike Waltz as his national security advisor and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the next ambassador to Israel. The announcements signal a continued focus on Trump's 'America First' agenda as his administration prepares to take shape.
Waltz, 50, brings military grit 🎖️ to the role. A Green Beret veteran with deployments in Afghanistan and Africa, he later advised Pentagon leaders like Donald Rumsfeld. Now a Florida congressman, he'll skip Senate confirmation for this critical security position. 💼
Huckabee, 69, gets a diplomatic spotlight after his 2008 presidential bid. Trump called him a 'peacemaker' for Israel ties, though the role requires Senate approval. The ex-governor once chaired the National Governors Association, blending politics with grassroots appeal. 🤝
Both picks underscore Trump's strategy: loyalists with combat-tested resumes and media-savvy profiles. From Special Forces ops to governor's mansions, these appointments could redefine U.S. global engagement. 🌍
