Signal mishap prompts calls for Waltz's dismissal

• Vice President J.D. Vance and senior advisers have suggested to Donald Trump the dismissal of Michael Waltz following the accidental addition of a journalist to a chat on Signal.
• A meeting at the White House took place on Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm GMT, where the embarrassment related to the disclosure of attack plans in Yemen was discussed.
• Trump has not decided to dismiss Waltz, but sources suggest it might happen in a few weeks.

Vice President J.D. Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles were among those who pressured Donald Trump to dismiss Michael Waltz. The reason was the embarrassment related to the accidental addition of a journalist to a chat on Signal, where plans for an attack on Houthi militants in Yemen were discussed. - Adding a journalist to the chat is a severe embarrassment for the White House - advisers stressed, as cited by the portal Politico.

Donald Trump, even though he agreed with the advisers' opinion that Waltz made a mistake, decided not to dismiss him immediately. - They will keep him for now but will dismiss him in a few weeks - said a source from Politico. The decision to keep Waltz in position is aimed at avoiding giving the liberal press the adviser's "head."

Signal, a popular messaging app, was the place where high-ranking U.S. officials, including Vance and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, discussed plans for an attack on Houthi militants in Yemen. By accident, the editor-in-chief of "The Atlantic", Jeffrey Goldberg, was invited to the chat and had insight into detailed attack plans two hours before their execution. Michael Waltz later admitted in a TV interview that he takes full responsibility for this incident.
