US EditionTrump's national security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy to leave posts in White House
- National Security Adviser Mike Waltz announced his upcoming departure from the Trump White House in early May 2025 at Joint Base Andrews.
- Waltz's exit follows a security breach when he mistakenly added a journalist to a military chat about Yemen airstrikes, which reduced his influence.
- Despite President Trump initially supporting Waltz and calling the incident a "mistake" with "nothing important" leaked, Waltz's standing never fully recovered.
- Waltz's deputy Alex Wong will also leave, while Trump considers real estate developer and special envoy Steve Witkoff, a friend involved in foreign talks, as Waltz's replacement.
- These changes indicate a shift in the National Security Council leadership amid ongoing efforts by Trump to secure international deals with Russia and Iran.
