US EditionTrump taps Mike Waltz as UN ambassador, names Rubio as national security adviser
- On May 1, 2025, President Trump announced his intention to appoint Mike Waltz as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and designated Secretary of State Marco Rubio to serve temporarily as the national security adviser.
- The decision came shortly after reports emerged that Waltz and his second-in-command, Alex Wong, would be leaving the administration just weeks following Waltz’s inclusion of a journalist in a Signal group chat concerning a confidential military operation.
- Waltz, a former three-term Florida congressman and current national security adviser, accepted full responsibility for the Signal incident, which officials called a mistake that caused no harm.
- Trump said on social media that Waltz ‘has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first’ from his time in uniform, in Congress, and as national security adviser.
- Rubio will retain his role as secretary of state while serving as acting national security adviser, reflecting an effort to maintain leadership stability amid ongoing staff changes.
