US EditionWarner predicts a ‘brutal’ UN ambassador confirmation hearing for Waltz
- After months of mounting tensions, President Donald Trump dismissed Mike Waltz from his role as national security adviser last Thursday and subsequently nominated him to become the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
- The removal occurred after Waltz accidentally included a journalist in a private Signal chat where sensitive military information was shared, leading to renewed scrutiny as Republicans revisit the Signalgate controversy.
- The nomination fills the last vacant role in Trump’s 22-member Cabinet after he withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik due to concerns about Republicans' slim House majority.
- Senator John Cornyn expressed that many Senate Republicans are familiar with Mike, hold him in high regard, and trust his abilities, while Democrats intend to strongly challenge Waltz's decisions during the Foreign Relations Committee review.
- The appointment could enable Trump to strengthen U.S. Representation at the U.N. Amid foreign conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war, but Waltz’s Signal involvement may cause partisan challenges during confirmation.
