Donald Trump is reportedly looking to tap politicians who take tough stances on China for key roles in his new cabinet. The US president-elect has tapped US Representative Michael Waltz, a retired National Guard officer and war veteran, to be his national security adviser, multiple media outlets reported, while the New York Times and Reuters said Florida Senator Marco Rubio was the favorite as Minister of Foreign Affairs. stands.

Waltz is also part of the Republicans’ China task force and is seen as hawkish — advocating a more aggressive foreign policy — when it comes to China. He called for a US boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing what he called the “suppression” of information about the Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan, and the continued mistreatment of the Uyghur minority Muslim population.

Rubio is a top China hawk in the Senate. Notably, in 2019 he called on the Treasury Department to launch a national security investigation into the acquisition of Musical.ly by popular Chinese social media app TikTok. As the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he demanded that the Biden administration block all sales to Huawei earlier this year after the sanctioned Chinese tech company released a new laptop powered by an Intel AI processor chip.

During the campaign, Trump promised to impose 60% tariffs on all Chinese imports, which could affect $500 billion worth of goods.

Here’s what else happened on Tuesday:

• Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. He says the former New York congressman and gubernatorial candidate will focus on reducing regulations. Trump, who oversaw the rollback of more than 100 environmental regulations when he was last US president, said Zeldin was a “true fighter for America First policies” and that “he will deliver fair and swift deregulatory decisions.”

• Trump confirmed that Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York would be nominated as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in his administration. “She will be an incredible ambassador to the United Nations, bringing peace through strength and an America First National Security policy,” Trump said in a statement. He also pointed to her efforts against anti-Semitism on college campuses during the war on Gaza.

• Trump has reportedly chosen former adviser Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner, as deputy policy chief in his new administration. Miller is one of Trump’s longest-serving aides and has played a central role in many of his policy decisions, especially on immigration.
