National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is expected to exit the Trump administration soon, following a tumultuous period marked by a significant error that damaged his standing in the West Wing. After mistakenly adding a reporter to a sensitive military discussion, his influence waned despite attempts to maintain his position. In the interim, Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong will also leave, and discussions are underway to appoint special envoy Steve Witkoff as his successor, reflecting ongoing changes in the administration's national security leadership.
Waltz's position has become precarious after losing influence over the National Security Council primarily due to a misstep involving the accidental inclusion of a reporter in a private discussion.
The White House is considering real estate developer and Trump ally Steve Witkoff as a potential replacement for Waltz, highlighting the ongoing shifts in the national security leadership.
