President Donald Trump has decided to remove Mike Waltz from his post as national security adviser and will instead nominate him to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
“From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role,” Trump wrote in a Thursday afternoon social media post.
Trump also announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would serve as national security adviser in the interim.
