President Donald Trump said he was appointing former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz as the next American ambassador to the United Nations.
“In his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as a national security advisor, Mike Waltz worked hard to put the interests of our nation,” wrote Trump.
The announcement comes after several American media reported that Waltz should leave the administration during the first major reshuffle of Trump's second mandate.
Waltz was the subject of a meticulous examination in March after emerging that it had created a discussion group on the signal messaging application and inadvertently added the journalist of the Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg.
The discussion group was used to discuss the planning of a sensitive military operation of March 15 against Houthi activists in Yemen.
The signal chain has also shown that the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth providing the exact calendars of Warplane launches and when the bombs are falling.
Waltz had previously assured the “full responsibility” for the construction of the chain of messages and the administration officials described the episode as an “error” but one which caused Americans without difficulty.
Waltz argued that he did not know how Goldberg ended up in the messaging channel and insisted that he did not know the journalist.
Waltz MP, Alex Wong, also had to leave to leave, according to the sources that spoke under the cover of anonymity to discuss a staff move not yet made public.
The National Security Council did not respond to a request for comments.
Waltz, who served in the room representing the Florida for three mandates before its elevation at the White House, is the most eminent administration responsible for leaving since Trump returned to the White House.
