National security adviser Mike Waltz is expected to depart from the Trump administration in the coming days, CNN reported.
Waltz라이브 바카라 role has been uncertain since earlier this week, when he was informed that his tenure leading the National Security Council was over, according to a source familiar with the situation. Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong is also expected to leave the White House, another source said.
Real estate developer and longtime Trump associate Steve Witkoff, currently serving as a special envoy, is being considered as Waltz라이브 바카라 replacement, though no final decision has been made. Witkoff has been involved in talks with Russia and Iran as part of Trump라이브 바카라 efforts to secure international agreements.
Waltz has been on shaky ground and lost most of his influence in the West Wing after he inadvertently added a reporter to a group chat about military strikes. Trump stood by him at the time, but Waltz라이브 바카라 standing never really recovered, according to four sources. He had also lost clout with top aides inside the West Wing.
Trump considered firing him at the time, but declined because he didn’t want to provide his enemies a perceived victory. He also hoped to avoid the type of chaos that colored his first administration.
But 100 days in, Trump no longer appears as concerned about the appearance of disorder. Multiple people familiar with the matter have increasingly described Waltz라이브 바카라 potential ouster as a matter of “when, not if.”
