Caption: Trump Taps Waltz for National Security Adviser, Rubio Eyed for Secretary of State. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Florida Republican Rep. Michael Waltz as his national security adviser, according to sources. Waltz, a veteran of the Afghan war and a strong Trump ally, recently won re-election to Congress but would need to leave his seat for this White House role. As national security adviser, he would play a major part in shaping U.S. foreign policy without needing Senate confirmation. Meanwhile, Senator Marco Rubio may be considered for secretary of state, though no final decision has been made. Rubio, known for his tough stances on China and Iran brings extensive experience from his roles as vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. He has also voiced the need for a resolution in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
