U.N. Ambassador Waltz Faces Scrutiny Amid Focus on Israel and Trump Ties

The article reports that U.S. U.N. ambassador Mike Waltz, confirmed recently, will not be part of President Trump's Cabinet, reflecting a decreased emphasis on the U.N. by the administration. Trump has been critical of the U.N., and the role of the ambassador has fluctuated in cabinet status over different presidencies. Waltz's non-cabinet status means less direct access to the president, and the U.N. itself is viewed skeptically by Trump, who questions its effectiveness.
