President Donald Trump said on May 4 that he planned to appoint someone to be the new national security adviser within six months, and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller could be selected for the role.

This comes in the wake of Mike Waltz’s exit from the position after Trump said on May 1 that he was nominating Waltz to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as interim national security adviser.
