A sudden move by Trump
In a surprise announcement on Truth Social, Donald Trump revealed that Mike Waltz will be appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, leaving his current position as National Security Adviser.
This move comes just as a major scandal erupts—dubbed “chatgate”—raising serious concerns over information leaks within the security apparatus.
The “chatgate” scandal: classified plans in the wrong hands
Waltz’s resignation follows the disclosure that confidential military plans were shared in a private chat group, which mistakenly included an American newspaper editor. This lapse triggered immediate outrage and posed a threat to national defense protocols.
Whether due to recklessness or procedural gaps, the damage was done. Trump acted swiftly: removing Waltz from the Security Council, yet preserving his political career with a prestigious diplomatic post.
Rubio steps in as interim Security Adviser
To avoid instability, Marco Rubio, the current Secretary of State, will take over as interim National Security Adviser. This decision is meant to ensure institutional continuity while the administration searches for a permanent replacement.
Rubio, a seasoned political ally of Trump, is seen as a safe choice to manage the fallout and restore confidence within U.S. strategic circles.
