    Trump sacks Security Adviser but proposes him for UN diplomatic job

    Discussions within the White House about a potential replacement for Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser had been ongoing for weeks

    US President Donald Trump fired National Security Adviser Mike Waltz Thursday following a scandal involving a Signal group chat that mistakenly included a journalist and revealed sensitive military plans against Houthi targets in Yemen. The March 15 incident exposed operational details, including strike timings and targets, and implicated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Waltz's explanations were deemed inadequate, and he was criticized for poor staff vetting and ineffective foreign policy coordination.
