Trump displaces the national security advisor after the big scandal xinhua

“Trump chose inexperienced people for his team and suffered the consequences of having done it. Some of his people made fundamental mistakes that have attracted a lot of negative attention,” Darrell West, senior citizen of the Brookings Institution, told Xinhua.

Washington, May 2 (Xinhua) -After a large scandal that affected US security, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would let go of his national security consultant Mike Waltz.

In a post about the social of truth, Trump Waltz nominated as the next US ambassador to the United Nations and added that Foreign Minister Marco Rubio will act as a national security consultant in the meantime.

The announcement was made only a few hours after several US media transactions had reported that Waltz would soon be left.

More than a month after a US journalist had accidentally added to an online chat group, in which top officials discussed a military strike against Houthi goals in Yemen. The chat group used signal, an app that is accessible to the general public, and not for an official government chat app.

Although Trump and Waltz consistently play down the effects of the incident and insisted that the group chat messages were not classified, both Trump and Waltz have added mistakes to errors several times.

Waltz voluntarily blamed for the big violation and said in an interview with Fox News on March 25 that he took full responsibility for the incident.

In an interview with the Atlantic published on Monday, Trump admitted that it was a very big story, and said: “I think we learned: Maybe you don't use signal, okay?”

Trump hesitated to shoot waltzes because he did not want to give the media a “scalp” or recognize that he took care of it, but according to Atlantic, his determination apparently weakened, who first reported the group chat.

The scandal has renewed previous criticisms that Trump has called inexperienced, incompetent people in the cabinet positions.

“The Waltz departure is only the latest example of a number of consultants who are not at their game. Trump understands this problem and in some cases quickly moved around someone who is better,” Darrell West, senior citizen of the Brookings Institution, told Xinhua.

“Trump chose inexperienced people for his team and suffered the consequences of having done that. Some of his people made fundamental mistakes that have attracted a lot of negative attention,” said West.

Christopher Galdieri, professor of political science at Saint Anselm College, told Xinhua: “I think this is an attempt to disappear the signal goal without having to be responsible or responsible.”

“I suspect the White House hopes that this will be the end. But … this kind of things will continue to happen as long as you have people in these positions without the experience or self -confidence to make you good,” said Galdieri.

EFFECTS

After exposing the leak, the Democrats repeatedly demanded the resignation of high -ranking civil servants, including Waltz and Defense Minister Pete Hegseth.

Some analysts believe that Waltz's dismissal is a gift for Democrats who are on the defensive after being beaten in the presidential election.

“The dismissal should show the democrats that the administration is not invulnerable … The main lesson is that Democrats have no reason to fire one of the numbers that were in the Signal chat,” said Clay Ramsay, researcher at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland.

William Courtney, a retired American ambassador and Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Rand Corporation, stated that changes in personnel in high-pressure jobs at the center of political debates in Washington are not abnormal.

Former President Ronald Reagan, for example, had six national security advisors of two terms, Courtney told Xinhua. “In the next few years, several high -ranking foreign policy numbers could be changed.”

During Trump's first term of office, he appointed four national security advisors.

Trump's latest announcement is further proof that his administration is exposed to a qualified lack of personnel and that it remains “thin”.

Another key figure in the incident, Hegseth, who participated in information about the confiscation of the Houthi rebels in Yemen in the group chat, is also exposed to considerable public pressure.

The chairman of the US Senate Mindfulness, Chuck Schumer, a California Democrat, shared the media report that Waltz was released, and added the comment: “Now do Hegseth.” ■
