President Trump defended national security adviser Mike Waltz following a controversy involving the inclusion of Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the Atlantic, in a group chat about airstrikes in Yemen. Trump asserted that this did not affect the military action taken on March 15, which he labeled a success. Despite speculation that Waltz might lose his position due to the incident, confidence remains in his abilities as an adviser. The president characterized the situation as a minor glitch in an otherwise smooth operation.
"Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he's a good man," President Trump said, emphasizing Waltz's capabilities despite the recent controversy involving the Atlantic magazine's editor.
Trump insisted that the inclusion of Jeffrey Goldberg in the group chat had "no impact at all" on the March 15 airstrikes, which he deemed "perfectly successful."
