Trump NSA Pick Waltz: Incoming Admin ‘Hand In Glove’ With Team Biden, At Least Amid Transition

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) said Sunday that he has met with President Joe Biden’s National Security adviser Jake Sullivan — and that the two administrations are working collaboratively on national security issues during the transition.

“Jake Sullivan and I have had discussions, we’ve met,” Waltz said in an interview with Gillian Turner on “Fox News Sunday.” “For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity, that they can play one administration off the other — they are wrong.”

He added, “We are hand in glove. We are one team with the United States in this transition.”

President-elect Donald Trump tapped Waltz, a Florida congressman and the first Green Beret to serve in Congress, to be his national security adviser in the upcoming administration.
This was Waltz’s first television appearance since being picked, though Waltz is currently the member of Congress with the most appearances on Fox News.

Waltz also addressed some of the recent national security news, including the escalation of the war in Ukraine. He compared the Biden administration’s decision to let Ukraine use anti-personnel landmines as “World War I trench warfare.”
