But the pick is not yet confirmed. Military veteran Michael Waltz is the favourite for Trump&#8217;s national security adviser, CBS adds.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">According to the same network, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem could also play a significant role in Trump&#8217;s government &#8211; as homeland security secretary.  <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Rubio and Waltz&#8217;s offices have not responded to the BBC&#8217;s request for comment.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Trump&#8217;s administration is starting to take shape after his win in last week&#8217;s presidential election. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">His Republican Party is closing in on full control of Congress. They have won back control of the Senate, the upper chamber, and they are inching towards a majority in the House, the lower chamber, as vote-counting continues.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Some of the appointments &#8211; including secretary of state &#8211; will require senators&#8217; approval, although Trump has demanded that the next Senate leader let him bypass this. He can give out other jobs &#8211; like national security adviser &#8211; directly.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The reported roles for Rubio, Waltz and Noem come after Trump made Susie Wiles his chief of staff, named former immigration official Tom Homan as his &#8220;border tsar&#8221; and nominated New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as his future ambassador to the United Nations.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">A president-elect has responsibility for about 4,000 political appointments.

It appears the president-elect could still change his mind. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Rubio serves as the vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and sits on the Foreign Relations Committee.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He is considered a foreign policy &#8220;hawk&#8221; &#8211; meaning someone who takes hard-line positions &#8211; towards Iran as well as China. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">While supportive of Ukraine, he previously said the country&#8217;s war with Russia needed to &#8220;be brought to a conclusion\u201d.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Rubio and Trump were opponents in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 and the two developed a bitter rivalry. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">They clashed on a variety of issues &#8211; particularly immigration &#8211; and the conflict led to various insults. Trump referred to the senator as \u201clittle Marco\u201d and Rubio mocked Trump&#8217;s &#8220;small hands&#8221;.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">But Rubio went on to endorse his rival and campaigned for him ahead of the 2024 election.

The appointment would not require Senate approval.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Waltz is a decorated Green Beret and army veteran, having served multiple tours in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">In his book, Warrior Diplomat: A Green Beret&#8217;s Battles from Washington to Afghanistan, he documented his experiences serving in the Pentagon during the George W Bush administration and in combat operations overseas.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Like Rubio, Waltz has taken a tough line on China. As chair of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, he argued the US needed to do more to prepare for conflict in the Pacific. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He has also said the US should maintain its support for Ukraine, but in recent weeks has advocated for a reassessment of US spending on aid for the war effort.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Waltz has said Nato allies should increase their defence spending, though he has not gone as far as Trump &#8211; who has reportedly suggested the US could leave the Western military alliance, to which it is the main contributor. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">&#8220;Look, we can be allies and friends and have tough conversations,&#8221; Waltz said last month.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Since the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, Waltz has frequently criticised President Joe Biden and the White House.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He would be the second member of Congress to be asked to serve in the next Trump administration, which would require him to resign his office in the House of Representatives.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">That could have ramifications if the Republicans end up controlling the House with a slim majority. Waltz&#8217;s resignation would cut any majority by one until a replacement could be elected.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Waltz would be the fifth national security adviser to serve under Trump, who appointed four different men to serve in the position during his first term. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Trump sacked three of them: Michael Flynn, HR McMaster and John Bolton.
