April 15 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s security aide Sebastian Gorka is seeking to become the next head of the National Counterterrorism Center, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, nearly a month after the center’s previous head quit due to differences over the war in Iran.
Joe Kent, who previously headed the center, had said while resigning last month that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States.
The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center and the White House did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment on the Washington Post report.
