US President Donald Trump on Thursday ousted his national security adviser Mike Waltz, and after taking office in January, Trump’s first major shake -up described Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio as his interim alternative.

In a social media post, Trump said he would nominate Waltz to be the next US ambassador to the United Nations, adding that “he has worked hard to keep our nation’s interests a priority.”

Earlier, sources said that Trump had decided to remove Walts from his White House position.

Trump’s choice of Rubio will be temporarily replaced by Henry Kissinger in the 1970s to replace Waltz, for the first time a man has held both positions of the Secretary of Foreign and National Security Advisor.

Waltz’s deputy, Alex Wong, an Asian expert who was a North Korean department official focusing on Trump’s first term, also quit his office, two men aware of the matter.

Waltz, a 51 -year -old former Republican lawmaker from Florida, was criticized inside the White House when he was trapped in a march scandal in Trump’s top national security assistants.

The National Security Advisor is a powerful role that does not require Senate verification.

During his first presidency, Trump cycling through four national security advisers.

A White House official did not confirm the reports, saying he “did not want to go beyond any announcement.”

Waltz did not show any indication that he knew about his departure when he was initially present on Fox News on Wednesday, where he praised the new US mineral deal with Ukraine.

He said, “No one said (this) can be done. President Trump said,” Be it “.

Saying that Trump has promoted US military recruitment, he added: “This is led by our commander in the head of the chief, who loves the army and loves it.”

Waltz was also present at the Trump television cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Waltz, a former Special Forces officer, was seen as a moderate voice in the Trump administration when he was appointed, but allegedly clashed with other officials on Russia and Iran.

Trump has called for Ukraine to reach a sharp ceasefire agreement with Russia, reopening talks with Iran on his nuclear program.

According to US media, Steve Watkov, a property unidentified magnet that Trump has chosen to talk to us with both Russia and Iran is in a dispute to replace Waltz.

Waltz had been under pressure from the end of March, when the Editor -in -Chief of the Atlantic Magazine revealed that he was mistakenly included in the Chat on a commercial messaging app signal about military attacks on Yemeni rebels.

Chat officials presented the attack plan, including US warplanes will take the tax on targets, with the first writings just half an hour before their launch.

Despite the media’s speculation that Trump will dismiss Waltz on the scandal, the president has repeatedly offered his backing, and the national security adviser demonstrated the end of the storm.

However, Waltz was one of the White House staff who was targeted by the right -wing influence and conspiracy theorest who met Trump, and made one clean.

Laura Loomar, who is known for claiming that the September 11, 2001 attacks were an internal job, was reported to have successfully called for the dismissal of several senior US security officials, which she considers as unfaithful to the president.

After reports of Walts and Wang’s ousted news on Thursday, Loomer posted on X: “Skull.”

Secretary Defense Pete Hegsith has also faced pressure on the scandal.

“1215et: F-18s Launch (First Strike Package)”, Hegsith wrote in a text, citing F/A-18 US Navy jets, before “target terrorist @ his known location should be on time.”

“1415: On strike on strike (this happens when the first bomb will definitely fall, the first ‘trigger -based’ in the target of the targets).”

Shortly afterwards, Walts sent real -time intelligence as a result of an attack, writing that US forces had identified the target “roaming his girlfriend building” and now it has collapsed. “

Reacting to Waltz’s dismissal on Thursday, Senate senior Democrat Chuck Shammer posted on X: “Now Hagsith.”
