President Donald Trump announced that he will nominate Mike Waltz to serve as the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations, following reports that Waltz was stepping down as National Security Advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation\u2019s Interests first,\u201d Trump said<\/a> in a social media post on Thursday. \u201cI know he will do the same in his new role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as interim National Security Advisor, \u201cwhile continuing his strong leadership at the State Department,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House did not specify when Waltz is expected to appear before the Senate for confirmation. If confirmed, he would succeed Dorothy Shea, who has been serving as Charg\u00e9 d’affaires at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations since January 20, following the end of Linda Thomas-Greenfield\u2019s tenure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump had initially nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik for the post, but the nomination was withdrawn in late March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition comes after a high-profile controversy referred to as \u201cSignal Gate,<\/a>\u201d in which Waltz acknowledged that a private Signal messaging group he created for national security coordination inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Fox News interview last month, Waltz said, \u201cI take full responsibility. I built the [Signal] group\u2026 A mistake was made, but we\u2019re moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chat reportedly included top U.S. officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Vice President J.D. Vance. According to Goldberg, the group discussed details of planned U.S. military operations against the Houthis in Yemen, including strike timing and targeting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the administration has not confirmed that Waltz\u2019s reassignment is related to the messaging incident, the move comes amid ongoing scrutiny over the handling of sensitive communications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
