President Donald Trump has decided to dismiss national security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, following a scandal involving the use of a private messaging service, Signal, to discuss military plans, including a sensitive operation in Yemen. This decision comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s national security team, exacerbated by previous firings of National Security Council officials influenced by far-right activist Laura Loomer. Waltz’s precarious position was compounded by the controversy, known as “Signalgate,” which has raised concerns about the alignment of his team with Trump’s agenda.
