– I have the pleasure of announcing that I want to nominate Mike Waltz to become the US’s next ambassador to the UN. That’s what US President Donald Trump writes on Truth Social. – From the time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and as my national security advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put the nation’s interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role. Trump further states that it is Foreign Minister Marco Rubio who will currently serve as a national security advisor, while also continuing in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In March, Waltz added to The Atlantics chief editor in a reporting group on the attack on the Houthis in Yemen before the attack happened. In the reporting group, attack plans were described. Both Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance were involved. Hegseth, intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe denied that the information in the chat that was shared was graded. CBS writes that Waltz behind closed doors admitted that the reporting was authentic, which led to the White House officials discussing whether he should withdraw.
