United States President Donald Trump stated during a press briefing aboard Air Force One that he is actively considering appointing Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff, as the next national security adviser. The announcement signals potential shifts in the administration's national security leadership as Trump shapes his team during his re-election term.

Stephen Miller has been a long-serving aide to President Trump and is known for his influence on immigration and domestic policy. His consideration for the high-profile national security role marks a notable expansion of his portfolio and involvement in foreign affairs.

"Stephen has been with us for a long time and understands the mission. He’s definitely one of the people I’m looking at," Trump told reporters during the flight. However, no official decision or timeline for the appointment has been announced yet.

In addition to discussing Miller’s potential promotion, Trump confirmed that he plans to appoint a replacement for Representative Mike Waltz within the next six months. Waltz has held key security-related roles and his departure has prompted speculation about who might fill his position.

The comments from President Trump suggest that significant reshuffling may be on the horizon within the administration’s security and defense apparatus. As policy challenges mount globally, Trump's choices for these strategic positions are likely to draw close scrutiny both domestically and abroad.

Analysts are watching closely as the president prepares to finalize his leadership team, with expectations that the selections will reflect his administration’s priorities in national defense, foreign relations, and internal coordination.
