Just after President Trump marked his 100th day in office, he announced that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz would be stepping down and nominated him as the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. While some media outlets suggested Waltz was fired due to a security breach involving a Signal group chat discussing classified Yemen military plans, both Trump and Vice President JD Vance pushed back against that narrative. Trump praised Waltz’s service on Truth Social, and Vance described the move as a promotion, emphasizing Waltz’s success in reforming the National Security Council.

Vance also stressed that Waltz still had the trust of both him and the president, and that the transition reflected a strategic shift rather than a fallout. He pointed out that someone truly being fired wouldn’t be granted a Senate-confirmed diplomatic position. Waltz expressed his continued dedication to the administration on social media. In the meantime, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been appointed interim National Security Advisor.
