NEW YORK, May 2 (NNN-XINHUA) – U.S. President Donald Trump, yesterday, nominated his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
“In the interim, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, will serve as National Security Adviser, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department,” said Trump in a post on social media.
Both Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong are expected to leave their current roles in the White House as soon as Thursday, according to earlier media reports.
