Michael Waltz would succeed Jake Sullivan as the US National Security Advisor after Donald Trump assumes office as 47th US President in January. Earlier in November, Trump picked Florida Republican leader as his National Security Advisor.
Waltz also served as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Mike served 27 years in the US Army and National Guard.
Jaishankar, who is on an official visit to US, concluded a two-day conference of the team at the Indian Embassy in the US and Consuls General. He expressed confidence in the deliberations and noted that they would plummet the India-US partnership.
“Concluded a very useful two day conference of team @IndianEmbassyUS and our Consuls General in Washington DC today. Confident from the deliberations that the continuous growth of the India-US partnership will be accelerated,” Jaishankar posted on X.
