His position was called into question after him earlier this week was clear to him that his time at the head of the National Security Council was completed, according to the source by familiar with the event.
Special envoy Steve Witkoff, investor in the real estate and the friend of President Donald Trump, is considered as a possible replacement for Waltz at the National Security Adviser, the Person-familiar with the situation, writes CNN.
The decision has not yet been made. WITKOFF conducted talks with Russia and Iran while Trump strives to achieve international agreements.
Waltz tried to keep his position – he attended the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, appeared on Fox News and appeared in the wing wing of the White House on Thursday.
However, his position was disturbed and lost most of the influence within the Western wing after unintentionally added journalists in group chat about military attacks. Trump then supported him, but his reputation was never really renovated, according to the claims of four sources. He also lost support for key associates within the White House.
Waltz boarded the Helicopter Marine One with Trump on Tuesday, but when his colleagues later entered the Air Force One later, he remained on the runway at Andrews Military Base. One white house official said he was not even supposed to travel with Trump in Michigan, but that move was considered strange.
