In a major shakeup of his national security team, Donald Trump has nominated Congressman Mike Waltz as the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and temporarily appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the acting National Security Advisor (NSA).
Mike Waltz to Represent U.S. at the UN
Waltz, a Republican from Florida and a former Green Beret, has long been a vocal advocate of strong U.S. leadership on the global stage. His nomination signals Trump’s intent to adopt a more assertive stance at the United Nations, especially on issues like China, Iran, and global security reforms.
Marco Rubio Takes On Dual Role
In a rare move, Trump has entrusted Marco Rubio—currently serving as Secretary of State—to temporarily oversee national security operations as acting NSA. The decision follows the resignation of the previous NSA (name pending official confirmation), and insiders say Rubio will serve in both roles until a permanent NSA is appointed.
