President-elect Donald Trump’s first major appointments center around national security, showing he’ll “look very early on to make major changes on the world scene,” former deputy national security adviser KT McFarland said Wednesday on Newsmax.

“In a transition, normally the jobs that are are appointed first are secretary of the Treasury, secretary of State, [or] Commerce,” McFarland said on “Wake Up America.” “In this case, President Trump has gone to the national security world, the people who are going to be advising him on the national security issues.”

Among Trump’s appointments, he selected Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., as national security adviser; Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense; John Ratcliffe to head the CIA; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., as ambassador to the United Nations; Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel; and Tom Homan as “border czar” to handle immigration.
