(National-UAE) President-elect Donald Trump has picked Sebastian Gorka, a staunch defender of his so-called Muslim ban who has said there is [no] such thing as Palestine, to be his counter-terrorism chief at the National Security Council.
Mr Trump called Mr Gorka “a tireless advocate for the America First Agenda and the MAGA movement” in his Friday announcement of the nomination, noting his previous role as strategist to the President.
Mr Gorka, a British-Hungarian-American with ties to Hungary’s autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban, served as an adviser in Mr Trump’s first administration and is known for his harsh anti-Islam stance and defence of the president-elect’s policy on Muslims.
