Sources within the US administration revealed after reports of the intention of the administration of President Donald Trump, the dismissal of his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, that he had discussed the names of his alternative in the western wing of the White House for weeks.
If Waltz leaves, he will be the first departure of a high -ranking official in the Trump administration. The President has so far resisted pressure to dismiss government officials and other senior advisers.
This will also be a pictured fall for the former Congress member of the state of Florida and the veteran warrior. When the White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, was asked to comment, she said: “We will not respond to reports from unknown sources.”
It is not clear who will take over the influential National Security Council in the White House if Waltz is sacked.
Currently, Trump’s Special Envoy, Steve Witkeov, who supervises negotiations with Russia, Iran and Hamas in Gaza, is one of the most prominent candidates, according to three sources.
Among the other potential candidates are the Trump administration’s chief policy, Stephen Miller, the Director of Terrorism at the National Security Council, Sebastian Gorca, and Trump’s private envoy for private tasks, Richard Greenil.
The departure of Waltz will cause a strong shock for the national security team, which suffers from chaos and turmoil, while the Trump team is trying to mediate to end diplomatic conflicts in three tracks, and is waging a global trade war.
While Trump and administration officials have repeatedly expressed their confidence in Palatz, many in the western pavilion expressed their anger at the Zalat Waltz, after he established a group of conversation through the Segenal application to discuss sensitive issues related to the targeting of the Houthi group and added, by mistake, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the “Atlantic” magazine, to the conversation. It is likely that the information related to the air strikes launched in March, including the timing and the weapons used, was very secret, according to former and current officials.
Waltz’s position fell more after the right -wing right -wing activist Laura Loumerb met and persuaded him to dismiss a number of members of the National Security Council and senior officials, including the director of the National Security Agency, General Tim Hu, due to loyalty concerns. Lomer also targeted Vice -Warz Wong, the son of Chinese immigrants to enhance Chinese interests.
She hindered the scandal Walz and made him unable to protect his employees from Lomer’s efforts, and also limited his ability to exercise his influence in the administration significantly, as the suspicions of officials at the White House and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs increased in his ability to manage the National Security Council effectively.
The head of the employee, Suzy Wales, was so frightened by Watz so much that she barely talking to him, according to two people familiar with the matter.
