In a surprising move, US President Donald Trump has dismissed Mike Waltz from his position as National Security Advisor following the fallout from what has become known as the "Signal Scandal," which sparked widespread controversy in US political circles.

According to sources, the dismissal came after Waltz mistakenly included a journalist in a Signal group chat where sensitive military plans regarding potential strikes against the Houthis in Yemen were discussed. This security breach reportedly angered President Trump, who decided to replace Waltz, making him the first high-ranking official to leave the administration during Trump's second term.

Subsequently, the White House announced the appointment of Mike Waltz as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, a high-profile diplomatic position requiring Senate confirmation.

Waltz, who had served as National Security Advisor since the start of Trump's second term, played a key role in shaping US defense policies, particularly concerning the Middle East and Ukraine.
