On May 1, the CBS News television channel reported that Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong leave their posts in the White House. The media suggested that the reason for this was the scandal with a leakage of information from the chat in the Signal messenger. Waltz accidentally invited the editor of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg, who later published US military plans for strikes by Husit objects in Yemen. Then Politico wrote that Trump could fire Waltz and that he was furious by him. Despite the assumption of journalists, Trump said that he was not planning to dismiss anyone, and also trusts Waltz and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset, who was also a participant in the secret chat.
After the resignation of Waltz, US Vice President Jay Di Wans said that Trump had not fired Waltz, but transferred to another position, and that this is not the dismissal that the media want to show him.
On May 1, Trump announced that he put forward Waltz to the post of regular representative of the United States at the UN. “Together we will continue the tireless struggle to ensure that America and the world again become safe,” he emphasized. CBS News, citing sources, reported that in addition to the post of US Permanent Representative to the UN UN, they offered to become the US Ambassador, including Saudi Arabia.
