National security adviser Michael Waltz is expected to depart

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

92% : " Trump publicly stood by Waltz in the days after The Atlantic report, telling NBC News, "Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he's a good man.
76% : "Waltz is fine," Trump said.
54% : Waltz paid tribute to Trump at a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
36% : " As a congressman, Waltz aligned himself with traditional conservative foreign policy views, though his stance on Ukraine moved closer to Trump's. Republicans in Congress who favor continued U.S. military aid to Ukraine viewed Waltz as a counterweight to Vice President J.D. Vance and others in the administration who have a more skeptical view of Kyiv and its cause.
35% : " But speaking with reporters from The Atlantic last week, Trump was less steadfast.
33% : Waltz, a former Florida congressman, has been on shaky ground with Trump since March after he inadvertently added a journalist to a private chat on the messaging app Signal with other top national security officials to discuss military strikes in Yemen.
31% : Trump said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who also participated in the group chat, was "safe." "Does he stay longer than Mike Waltz?"
26% : But so far, Trump has not embraced that idea and has regularly focused his ire on Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Waltz's influence was also diminished by Trump's reliance on special envoy Steve Witkoff, whom the president has dispatched to hold talks with Putin as well as leaders in the Middle East.
