US President-elect Donald Trump will appoint Republican congressman Mike Volz to the important position of national security adviser, according to media reports after the election, reports Deutsche Welle.
He is known as an advocate of a tough course towards China. In addition, Volc is advocating for a U.S. U.S. support for Ukraine.
Trump has already offered Volz a position in the White House, according to the Wall Street Journal and the CNN TV station, among others.
The national security adviser is a key position related to foreign policy, and the US president can nominate his own candidates for that position, that is, he does not need the support of the Senate. During his first presidential term, Trump had four national security advisers.
Volz, a member of the House of Representatives from the state of Florida, has been supporting Donald Trump for years. Last year, he published a comment on the Fox News TV station in which he dealt with the Republican majority in the House of Representatives in Washington: "The era of blank checks for Ukraine in Congress is over," he said.
At the time, Volz stated, among other things, that European countries must make an even greater contribution. At the same time, he noted that the USA has an additional means of pressure against Russia, and he meant the lifting of restrictions on the use of American weapons that were delivered to the Ukrainians.
Trump is also considering the possibility of appointing Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, the New York Times reported last night, referring to Trump's environment.
