Trump moves Mike Waltz from national security adviser to UN ambassador role

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Trump announced in a Truth Social post later on Thursday that he would name his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, to also take on the job of the national security adviser on an interim basis, and that he would nominate Waltz to be the US ambassador to the United Nations.
41% : And the far-right activist Laura Loomer, who pushed a conspiracy theory that Wong had loyalties to China, weakened Waltz's power after she went to the White House last month at Trump's invitation and successfully pushed for Trump to fire a number of Waltz's staffers.
36% : Trump was also mollified by an internal review that found Waltz mistakenly saved the Atlantic editor's number.
31% : That included scrutiny at a dinner that Waltz attended with Trump and some of Trump's allies including Tucker Carlson, who has been skeptical of the adviser.
20% : And with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Waltz had pressed Trump to hit Russian Vladimir Putin with deep, punitive sanctions if he failed to agree to a peace deal being brokered by Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
