President Donald Trump has announced a major reshuffling of his national security team.
Mike Waltz, the current National Security Adviser and former Florida congressman, has been nominated to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will take over as acting National Security Adviser. This move follows Rep. Elise Stefanik's withdrawal from consideration for the UN ambassador post, reportedly due to concerns about the GOP's slim House majority.
The changes signal a significant shift in Trump's foreign policy and national security leadership.
