The decision reflects Trump’s disappointment with Waltz over his inadvertent inclusion of a journalist on a group chat about military operations in Yemen, and broader frustration over Waltz’s appointment of staffers viewed as disloyal to the president.
But in choosing to nominate him as U.N. ambassador, a job that requires Senate approval, Trump has set the stage for a contentious confirmation process that will allow Democrats to grill Waltz over the opening months of Trump presidency’s and compel sworn testimony on a range of sensitive matters including immigration, tariff policy, military operations and diplomacy.
It also marks the first time in decades that a U.S. president has appointed the same person to be secretary of state and national security adviser — since President Richard M. Nixon gave those responsibilities to Henry Kissinger, entrusting one man with extraordinary powers over America’s domestic and foreign security apparatus.
