Trump live: Mike Waltz ‘honored’ to stay in administration after being ousted as national security adviser
President Donald Trump will nominate Mike Waltz to serve as his UN ambassador after ousting him as national security adviser in the first White House shake-up of his second term.
The news came after a morning of fervent speculation concerning Waltz’s future and reporting that he was being pushed out of the administration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will add interim NSA to his responsibilities until a replacement is found.
At the National Prayer Day event in the Rose Garden, Trump made no mention of the shake-up, and Waltz was absent despite being on campus earlier.
Meanwhile, former vice president Kamala Harris mercilessly rebuked the president in her first extensive remarks since leaving Washington, D.C., in January, saying his tariff-based trade war was inviting recession and amounted to the “greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history.”
Harris, the defeated Democratic nominee in last year’s presidential election, spoke at the 20th anniversary gala for Emerge America, an organization that supports left-leaning women for public office.
She further said: “Instead of an administration working to advance America’s highest ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals.”
