JAMESTOWN BOARD MEMBER KT MCFARLAND NAMED NEXT DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
The Jamestown Foundation would like to
congratulate Kathleen Troia “KT” McFarland for being named Deputy
National Security Advisor in President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming
Administration. Jamestown Foundation President Glen Howard stated that
KT was a vibrant and active member of our board and that we wish her
success in her new position in the White House in what is surely one of
the key national security decision-making bodies in the US government.
Ms. McFarland was a long-time member of the Jamestown Board of
Directors, who joined in June 2008. Up to this point, she has been FOX
News’ National Security Analyst and appears regularly on FOX News and
FOX Business News. She anchors the show DEFCON3 and writes a
regular column for FOXnews.com. She is also the weekly national security
commentator for several national radio shows. Ms. McFarland held
national security posts in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan Administrations:
as an aide to Dr. Henry Kissinger on the NSC Staff (1970–76); member of
the Senate Armed Services Committee Staff (1981); Senior Speechwriter to
Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and later the Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense (PA) and Pentagon Spokesman (1981–84).
Ms. McFarland received the Defense Department’s highest civilian award
for her work in the Reagan Administration (Distinguished Service Award,
1985).
KT McFarland participated in several Jamestown-organized board
delegation trips, including to Ukraine (in June 4–8, 2014) as well as
Germany and the three Baltic States (June 5–11, 2016).
