Trump has fired national security adviser Mike Waltz

# US president Donald Trump has removed Mike Waltz from his post as national security adviser. Waltz has faced criticism since March, after acknowledging that he inadvertently added a journalist to a Signal group chat that shared sensitive information about US missile strikes. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that he would nominate Waltz as ambassador to the United Nations. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has taken on the job of the national security adviser on an interim basis.
