President Trump Assigns Secretary Of State Marco Rubio A New Role


President Trump has assigned Secretary of State Marco Rubio a new role.

In a Thursday Truth Social post, President Trump announced Rubio would be the interim National Security Adviser.

Trump’s move came hours after he removed National Security Adviser Mike Walz from his position as National Security Adviser and reassigned him to be the ambassador to the United Nations.

Trump wrote, “I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations.”

He added, “In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

With the new assigned role, Rubio is now the Secretary of State, Archivist of the United States, National Security Advisor
and Administrator of USAID.

Per The Hill:

President Trump is tapping national security adviser Mike Waltz to be his ambassador to the United Nations following reports of his ouster in the midst of a controversy over a group text chat.

Trump also announced Thursday he naming his Secretary of State Marco Rubio to replace Waltz as national security adviser on an interim basis.

“I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations. From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump added, “In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Waltz leaving his post at the National Security Council and moving to the ambassador role, which will require Senate confirmation, marks the first major shifting of positions in Trump’s second administration.

Check out what CNN reported:

In a sweltering Rose Garden on Thursday, as President Donald Trump intoned at length about restoring faith to the White House, he took a moment to single out a man sitting right up front.

“When I have a problem, I call up Marco,” Trump told his crowd, gesturing toward Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “He gets it solved.”

Unbeknownst to the sweat-beaded dignitaries assembled for the president’s event, Trump of late had been discussing a new problem with his top diplomat: national security adviser Mike Waltz, whom he no longer trusted and who’d lost the confidence of much of the West Wing.

The conundrum had been festering for weeks after Waltz inadvertently included a journalist on a Signal group chat to discuss a military strike in Yemen. Now it was no longer sustainable, people familiar with the matter said. Already this week, he’d determined Waltz should not travel with him to Michigan, where the president announced new investment in an Air National Guard base. Waltz flew with him to Joint Base Andrews on his helicopter, but remained behind on the tarmac as Air Force One took off for Detroit.

For weeks, Trump had wavered, wary of appearing to succumb to public pressure and repeating the same cycle of firing national security advisers that lent his first term a mien of chaos. Nor did he want to provide his enemies a perceived victory by caving to their demands. But after 100 days in office, without any major staff departures, Trump seemed ready to pull the plug.

It turned out Rubio, who always “gets it solved,” was himself the solution.
