Trump Nominates Mike Waltz as UN Ambassador, Hints Stephen Miller May Assume National Security Role

President Donald Trump confirms a major reshuffling within his national security team, officially nominating former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz as the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, while suggesting that longtime aide Stephen Miller is the leading contender to take over Waltz’s previous role. The president makes the announcement just hours after reports emerge of Waltz’s resignation following a high-profile security mishap.

Waltz’s departure as National Security Adviser comes amid controversy after he mistakenly added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group. . .
