Trump Defends National Security Advisor After Signal Group Chat Error

Mike Waltz remains in his role despite accidentally including journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a chat discussing Yemen war plans.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat that included discussions about Yemen war plans.
The group chat reportedly involved high-ranking officials such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
President Trump dismissed concerns about the incident, labeling it a minor glitch and expressing continued confidence in Waltz's leadership.
The White House National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the group chat but has not elaborated on its operational details.
Waltz, appointed in November 2024, is a former congressman, Green Beret, and national security expert with extensive experience in government and military service.
