President Donald Trump said he will nominate Michael Waltz, his current national security adviser, to be the next US ambassador to the UN, sidelining a top aide who drew a wave of criticism for inadvertently adding a journalist to a Signal group chat where officials discussed sensitive attack plans.
Marco Rubio will serve as interim national security adviser while keeping his job as secretary of state, Trump said in a post on X. Trump said Waltz “has worked hard to put our Nation’s interests first.”
