Washington, September 19 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Senate on Friday confirmed Mike Waltz, former U.S. National Security Advisor, as the country's permanent representative to the United Nations. The post had been vacant for eight months.
Forty-seven senators supported and 43 voted against M. Waltz's candidacy. The newly appointed US Permanent Representative will attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week.
During his Senate confirmation hearings this summer, Waltz emphasized the need for reform at the UN, including an overhaul of U.S. funding and measures to eradicate anti-Semitism within the world body, NBC News reported.
Martin Waltz served as Donald Trump's national security adviser since January, but resigned following the Signal messaging incident. In March, he mistakenly added a journalist to a private chat with senior national security officials discussing the upcoming strike in Yemen.
On March 27, D. Trump withdrew his nomination of Republican Elise Stefanik for the post of Permanent Representative to the UN and nominated M. Waltz in May.
Former US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield left her post on January 20 after Donald Trump took office as US President. –0–
