Trump taps Mike Waltz as UN ambassador, names Rubio as national security adviser
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that Marco Rubio will serve as acting national security adviser, replacing Mike Waltz, who is nominated for UN ambassador.
- The move followed the departure of Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong, weeks after Waltz faced scrutiny for adding a journalist to a Signal chat discussing military plans.
- Waltz, a former Florida congressman and military veteran, had lost influence due to the Signal incident but maintained public support from Trump and administration officials.
- Trump stated Rubio will continue leading the State Department and praised Waltz, saying he has worked hard to put the Nation's Interests first.
- Rubio’s appointment suggests a consolidation of roles amid ongoing National Security Council reshuffling urged by far-right ally Laura Loomer, who criticized some staff as 'not-MAGA-enough'.
