		</div><p>US President Donald Trump has chosen army Lt Gen HR McMaster as his new national security adviser.<br />
Mr Trump announced the choice on Monday at his Palm Beach club, Mar-a-Lago.</p>
<p>He said Lt Gen McMaster is &#8220;a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said retired army Lt Gen Keith Kellogg, who had been his acting adviser, will now serve as the National Security Council chief of staff.</p>
<p>The president had been looking for a replacement for retired general Michael Flynn, who was ousted last week.</p>
<p>Mr Trump also said he would be asking John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the United Nations, to work with them in a &#8220;somewhat different capacity&#8221;.</p>
<p>He made the announcement from a luxurious living room, sitting on a settee between Lt Gen McMaster and Lt Gen Kellogg.</p>
<p>Mr Trump brought four options for the position to Mar-a-Lago over the weekend for in-person interviews, Lt Gen McMaster among them.</p>
<p>Lt Gen McMaster called the appointment a &#8220;privilege&#8221;.</p>
<p>The president told reporters as he exited the room that Vice President Mike Pence had been involved in the process.</p>
<p>The position of national security adviser does not require senate confirmation.</p>
<p>Mr Trump pushed out Mr Flynn a week ago after revelations that the adviser had misled Mr Pence about discussing sanctions with Russia&#8217;s ambassador to the US during the presidential transition.</p>
<p>The president said in a news conference on Thursday that he was disappointed by how Mr Flynn had treated Mr Pence, but did not believe Mr Flynn had done anything wrong by having the conversations.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s first choice to replace Mr Flynn, retired vice admiral Robert Harward, turned down the offer.</p>
