On February 16th, President Donald Trump has offered to retired admiral and former Navy SEAL Robert Harward the position of the next National Security Adviser, after the resignation of Michael T. Flynn.
Robert Harward spent almost 40 years in the Navy and was on President George W. Bush's National Security Council, with experience in several Middle Eastern countries, as well as Somalia and Bosnia.
Harward worked on the National Security Council during the George W. Bush administration. Harward most recently served as the Deputy Commander of U.S. Central Command under Gen. James Mattis, now the Secretary of Defence, a relationship which was seen as a strong selling point, administration officials said.
Appointing Mr Harward would help Mr Trump start to reduce some of the turmoil that has rocked his administration in recent weeks./.
