Trump eliminated his national security advisor
President Trump announced yesterday that he was eliminating his national security advisor, Michael Waltz, appointing the Secretary of State for Marco Rubio as his interim replacement. It was the first review of important personnel or the assistant of aid of the White House, and the son of move that he had wanted to avoid in his second mandate.
Waltz had been on thin ice since he organized a group conversation in the application signal to discuss a delicate military operation in Yemen and accidentally included a journalist. Trump has nominated Waltz to be an ambassador of the United States at the UN
But even before the filtration of the chat group, most Trump’s advisors saw Waltz as too aggressive to work for a president who was eager to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran and normalize relations with Russia.
Rubio will occupy both positions for now, something that no other official has done simultaneously since Henry Kissinger kept the titles under the administrations of Nixon and Ford.
What follows? The selection of the next national security advisor will be critical, at a time when the president’s main aids have deferred considerably on how to manage China, Russia and Iran.

This is what is in the Ukraine-EE mineral agreement. UU.
The United States and Ukraine signed an agreement on Wednesday night, which allowed the United States to receive future income from the natural resources of Ukraine. Ukraine hopes to clean the way to continue the support of the United States.
The agreement, whose text was made public yesterday, did not mention security guarantees, what Kyiv had wanted. Under this bargain, US military aid in the future would have to be matched with the richness of Ukraine resources. The agreement also seems to keep the open for Ukraine to join the EU, this is what we know.
What follows? The Parliament of Ukraine still has to ratify the agreement, which will probably happen in the next two weeks, legislators said yesterday.
Analysis: It is not clear how the treatment will work in practice. It could bring incalculable money to a joint investment fund, but the resources will take years to extract and obtain profits.
