President Trump has announced the nomination of Mike Waltz as the new US Ambassador to the United Nations, marking a major staffing shake-up in his administration. This decision follows reports of Waltz's strained relationship with the President and his involvement in a scandal regarding the sharing of military attack details on a private messaging app. As Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to take over Waltz's former national security adviser role, the change highlights Trump's ongoing volatility in key positions within his administration.
I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio would step into the role of national security adviser while continuing in his role as the country's top diplomat.
Earlier in the day, anonymous sources had told major US news outlets that Waltz had been forced out after his relationship with Trump cooled.
Waltz's reputation has suffered from the fallout from an incident in which he appears to have added a journalist to a private chat on the messaging app Signal.
