American media have begun to speculate on the name of the person who could replace Waltz and take over the position of National Security Advisor.
Mike Waltz stepped down as National Security Advisor today. President Donald Trump announced that Waltz will be nominated as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as acting national security adviser, while retaining his current role.
Meanwhile, American media have begun to speculate on the name of the person who could replace Waltz and take over the position of National Security Advisor.
Steve Witkoff; a real estate developer and Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, is mentioned as a leading candidate. He has negotiated the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal and was Trump's personal envoy to Vladimir Putin. Despite his lack of traditional national security experience, Trump's confidence in him makes him a likely choice.
His candidacy is characterized by his high loyalty to Trump and proven negotiating skills in international scenarios. But his lack of formal national security experience could raise skepticism among other officials. Some sources indicate that Witkoff may not want the position.
The second name being tossed around in the American media is Richard Grenell; another Trump special envoy, who has a longer diplomatic experience, serving as ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence during Trump's first term. He is considered a candidate with more traditional credentials. His candidacy is characterized by extensive diplomatic experience and loyalty to Trump. However, Grenell could be seen as highly controversial due to his strong positions and political connections.
According to CNN, another name is Christopher Landau, a deputy secretary of state who has experience in diplomacy and knowledge of security issues. However, his lesser-known profile may limit the chances of a permanent role.
It is worth noting that Trump's choice of Waltz's replacement is likely to be based more on personal loyalty and ideological alignment with the "America First" agenda, rather than traditional national security experience.
Witkoff appears to be the most likely candidate because of his closeness to Trump, but his lack of experience could draw criticism. Grenell and the others offer a balance between loyalty and experience, but the final choice will depend on internal administration dynamics and pressure from figures like Laura Loomer, who have influence over Trump's departure decisions. Rubio, as an interim choice, could stay on longer if Trump doesn't find a permanent nominee soon.
Despite all this, Steve Witkoff and Ric Grenell are the most likely candidates, with Witkoff having the advantage of Trump's personal trust, while Grenell offers more experience./ Pamphlet
