Trump 'changed the blood' of the cabinet

New York [US], May 3: On the morning of May 2, President Trump announced on the social network Truth Social that he would nominate National Security Advisor Mike Waltz as US Ambassador to the UN and bring in Secretary of State Marco Rubio to temporarily replace Waltz as security adviser. Earlier, U.S. media reported that Waltz would soon step down as an adviser after the scandal in March, when he mistakenly added a journalist to a White House discussion group on the Signal app about plans to attack the Houthis in Yemen.
Contrary to the national security adviser, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. needs to be approved by the Senate but is seen as having far less influence. According to The Washington Post, the appointment reflects Trump's frustration with Waltz's negligence in March, as well as the leader's dissatisfaction with Waltz's appointment of subordinates who are disloyal to the president.
Trump initially defended Waltz, claiming the adviser was a "good guy" and had learned his lesson. According to CNN, President Trump is not in a hurry to remove Mr. Waltz because he does not want to give victory to political opponents, and at the same time hopes to avoid the same disturbance as in his early term, when National Security Advisor Mike Flynn was pressured to resign after just three weeks. However, criticism has increased after Waltz and his assistants used personal Gmail accounts, a less secure platform than Signal, to handle government business. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are investigating the incident.
In Monday's post, President Trump praised Waltz for his efforts in the national interest, while Vice President J.D. Vance said the adviser was being "promoted." Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers criticized Mr. Waltz for being careless and unqualified for senior positions. During a cabinet meeting on April 30, Waltz was further spotted using Signal to communicate with senior officials.
