Donald Trump said Truth on the social network that he would put forward Michael Waltz to the post of regular representative of the United States to the UN. Thus, the American president confirmed that the Waltz was fired from the post of national security adviser.

The duties of the US Presidential Advisor to National Security will be performed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump added.

The fact that the presidential adviser to Michael Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong will be resigned, previously reported CBS News and Fox News with a link to sources. One of the interlocutors of CBS News said that Trump did not want to dismiss Waltz, fearing that this could be regarded as a concession made under external pressure. But then the president decided that there was enough time after the scandal with a chat in Signal so that the resignation of an adviser could be presented as part of the reorganization.

In March, Waltz was in the center of the scandal when it turned out that he mistakenly added to the secret chat in the Signal head of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg. In this chat, the plans of the attack of the American army to group the Husites in Yemen were discussed.
