Rome, 25 Mar. (LaPresse) – The US National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, may have to be forced to resign after the botched confidential chat on Signal in which journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, was also mistakenly included. In the chat, several senior administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Waltz himself were discussing impending US attack plans against Houthi rebels in Yemen. According to ‘Politico’, which quotes a senior Administration official, the idea was to push Waltz to step back to avoid putting President Trump in a ‘bad position’. In any case,' the source goes on to say, ’nothing has been decided and the final choice will rest solely with President Donald Trump. Last night White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had said that President Trump continues to have the ‘utmost confidence’ in Waltz.
