Donald Trump on Thursday named Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., as chairman of his national security advisory committee.

Trump’s campaign said Sessions, a vocal advocate of tougher enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws, would counsel Trump on foreign policy and homeland security.

“It is an honor to have Jeff as a member of the team,” Trump said. “I have such great respect for him and I look forward to working with him on the issues most important to Americans.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to recommend and facilitate discussions among exceptional and experienced American military and diplomatic leaders to share insight and advice with Donald Trump, regardless of their political views,” Sessions said. “Mr. Trump and the American people know our country needs a clear-eyed foreign policy rooted in the national interest.”
