Public records show that Waltz is 51 years old, comes from a military background, and has served as a U.S. Representative from Florida. In January this year, after Trump began his second presidential term, he appointed him as the U.S. National Security Advisor.
In March this year, Waltz sparked a "chat group" leak controversy when he created a Signal chat group and discussed military strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen with several senior officials in the presence of an editor from The Atlantic.
Subsequently, on May 1st, Trump announced on social media that he had nominated Waltz as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, with Secretary of State Rubio temporarily taking over the position of National Security Advisor.
