US EditionTrump taps Mike Waltz as UN ambassador, names Rubio as national security adviser
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump revealed that he will appoint Secretary of State Marco Rubio to serve temporarily as national security adviser while nominating Mike Waltz for the position of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
- The departures from the administration involved Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong, occurring weeks after it became public that Waltz had mistakenly included a journalist in a Signal chat concerning a sensitive military operation.
- Mike Waltz, who served three terms as a Florida congressman and was Trump’s national security adviser, came under fire from far-right supporter Laura Loomer, who encouraged Trump to dismiss staff members she considered not fully committed to advancing the Make America Great Again platform.
- Trump stated Rubio will remain secretary of state while also serving as national security adviser, praising Waltz’s service and announcing Waltz’s nomination as UN ambassador on social media as a recognition of his dedication.
- The moves mark the first major staff shakeup of Trump’s second term and suggest efforts to stabilize the administration after earlier turmoil around Waltz’s Signal chat and waning internal influence.
