Your guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business, and the world

Donald Trump has made a significant move in his administration by appointing secretary of state Marco Rubio as the interim national security adviser. This decision came after the firing of Mike Waltz and his deputy due to a scandal involving the use of a private messaging app to discuss military plans.

Trump took to Truth Social to announce the change, stating that Waltz would be nominated as the US ambassador to the UN, ensuring his continued involvement in the administration’s foreign policy team. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will step into the role of National Security Advisor while maintaining his leadership at the State Department. Trump expressed his confidence in Waltz’s ability to prioritize the nation’s interests in his new position.

The departure of Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, follows the dismissal of several National Security Council officials a month earlier. Laura Loomer, a far-right activist, played a key role in alerting Trump to the lack of alignment between these officials and his “Make America Great Again” movement.

Waltz’s position became precarious after inadvertently including the editor of The Atlantic in a Signal chat where sensitive details about upcoming US strikes in Yemen were discussed. This incident, known as “Signalgate,” tarnished the reputation of Trump’s national security team and raised concerns about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who also shared classified information about the military operation.

Critics of Waltz within the Maga movement had long criticized him for his foreign policy approach, labeling him as a “neoconservative” who advocated for greater US intervention abroad. Loomer’s influence in pushing for Waltz’s removal was evident in her social media attacks on Wong and Ivan Kanapathy, a top China official in the NSC.

Following Waltz’s departure, speculation arose about his permanent replacement. Potential candidates included Steve Witkoff, a close friend of Trump serving as special envoy to the Middle East, and Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser. Other names in consideration were Robert O’Brien, Richard Grenell, Sebastian Gorka, Chris Landau, and Michael Anton.

The swift turnover in national security advisers during Trump’s first term has raised questions about the stability of his administration’s foreign policy team. As Washington observers anticipate Trump’s next move, the search for a successor to Waltz continues amidst calls for a candidate aligned with the Maga agenda.
