US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz may be fired after including a journalist in a private chat about US strikes on the Houthis. White House officials say President Trump will make a decision soon. The incident was made public in an Atlantic article by Jeffrey Goldberg, who was included in the chat. The group on the Signal messaging app included Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, and 12 other officials. Trump may also target Vice President Vance or Defense Secretary Hegseth for their roles in the leaked chat.
