Marco Rubio's appointment as interim national security adviser follows Mike Waltz's nomination to the U.N. amid controversy over a sensitive leak. This marks the first instance of one individual holding both the Secretary of State and National Security Adviser roles since Henry Kissinger in the 1970s. Critics, including former adviser John Bolton, argue that this consolidation of roles may not enhance President Trump's control over foreign policy as intended, and could complicate decision-making amidst significant global challenges.
As national security adviser, Marco Rubio will face significant challenges managing two fundamentally different roles that could actually diminish President Trumpâs control over national security matters.
John Bolton warns that the simultaneous roles of Secretary of State and national security adviser could lead to complications in decision-making given the current global threats.
