Reference Message Network reported on May 2nd, citing the Singapore "United Morning News" website that reported on May 2nd by quoting Reuters, US President Trump removed General H.R. McMaster from the post of National Security Advisor, and Secretary of State Rubio will temporarily take over this position.

It was reported that this personnel change is the first major adjustment to the core team in Trump's second term. In March, McMaster was exposed for mistakenly adding The Atlantic editor-in-chief to the high-level national security chat group responsible for coordinating strikes against the Houthi organization in Yemen, causing a stir.

Trump said on social media on the 1st that he would nominate McMaster as the US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stating that McMaster "has always prioritized national interests." The nomination of the US Permanent Representative to the United Nations requires approval by the Senate.

Several media outlets reported earlier that Trump would dismiss McMaster, who has been controversial due to the "group chat leak incident." Senate Minority Leader and Democrat Schumer forwarded the media reports regarding McMaster's dismissal and added in the text that "it's now time for (Defense Secretary) Higgenbotham."

It was reported that Trump chose Rubio to temporarily take over the position of National Security Advisor, which will be the first time since the 1970s that one person holds both positions simultaneously, following Secretary of State Kissinger.
