Trump’s National Security Advisor nominee, Mike Waltz, stated that his team is closely cooperating with Biden’s administration on Ukraine and national security, calling it “hand in glove.” Waltz emphasized that adversaries misjudging the situation are wrong, and stressed that Trump is focused on resolving the conflict, with European allies playing a key role in any peace agreement. Waltz also supported Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines, citing their role in halting Russian advances.
