Friday Briefing: A White House Shake-Up

President Trump recently named Secretary of State Marco Rubio as his interim national security adviser after removing Michael Waltz, who had faced criticism for a private chat group that included a journalist. Waltz was also viewed as overly hawkish and at odds with Trump’s more moderate approach on nuclear deals and Russia relations. Rubio now holds both the NSAD and State Department positions simultaneously, a first for the role since Henry Kissinger under Nixon and Ford.
