US President Donald Trump yesterday ousted his national security adviser Mike Waltz and named Secretary of State Marco Rubio as his interim replacement in the first major shakeup of Trump’s inner circle since he took office in January.
Trump, in a social media post, said he would be nominating Waltz to be the next US ambassador to the United Nations, adding that “he has worked hard to put our nation’s interests first.”
Waltz’s deputy, Alex Wong, an Asia expert who was a State Department official focused on North Korea during Trump’s first term, is also leaving his post, sources told Reuters.
