President-elect Donald Trump has asked Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida to serve as his national security adviser, according to a familiar source.

In this role, Waltz would have to manage a number of geopolitical conflicts that Trump's administration will take on in his second term, including the wars between Ukraine and Russia and between Israel and Hamas.

The congressman had been seen in Palm Beach, home of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, in recent days.
