President Trump is giving his stamp of approval to national security adviser H.R. McMaster after criticism in conservative media.
The White House issued a statement Friday in which Trump says, “General McMaster and I are working very well together.â€
After the firing Wednesday of intelligence adviser of Ezra Cohen-Watnick — a protege of Trump’s initial national security adviser, Michael Flynn — right-wing critics said McMaster is trying to remove conservative voices from the White House national security team.
Trump also says McMaster “is a good man and very pro-Israel.†That remark is apparently in rebuttal to a widely circulated Facebook post by Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick, who called McMaster “deeply hostile to Israel.â€
The president says, “I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country.â€
