US EditionTrump taps Mike Waltz as UN ambassador, names Rubio as national security adviser
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump revealed that he plans to appoint Mike Waltz as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and will have Secretary of State Marco Rubio temporarily assume the role of national security adviser.
- This development occurs after reports emerged that Mike Waltz and his assistant, Alex Wong, are leaving their posts following criticism of Waltz for including a journalist in a private Signal conversation about confidential military operations.
- Waltz, a former Florida congressman and military veteran, had lost influence in the White House and took full responsibility for the messaging incident described as a mistake that caused no harm.
- Trump wrote on social media that Waltz has "worked hard to put our Nation's Interests first" and said Rubio will continue his leadership at the State Department while serving as national security adviser.
- These changes indicate a leadership reshuffle intended to address internal conflicts and reinforce alignment with the president's core political priorities.
