What We Learned from Mike Waltz’s U.N. Ambassador Confirmation Hearing

Trump's short-serving National Security Advisor gets grilled on Capitol Hill

Trump’s pick for UN Ambassador, Mike Waltz, faced questions from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. You may recall he previously served as National Security Advisor before being sidelined by Trump after “Signalgate.” But Waltz was never officially fired—he was instead banished to the United Nations. For over two hours, he fielded questions from senators.

So, what did we learn about how the Trump administration might approach diplomacy at the United Nations with Mike Waltz as U.S. Permanent Representative?

In this episode of To Save Us From Hell, Mark and Anjali bring you the highlights and lowlights from the hearing—from how Waltz intends to counter China’s influence (with two arms tied behind his back) to which UN entities are most definitely on Trump’s target list.
