Trump downgrades UN ambassador's Cabinet status

President Trump has signaled a decreased importance of the United Nations to his administration by deciding not to grant Cabinet-level status to the U.S. Ambassador role. While Mike Waltz was confirmed by the Senate, sources indicate the position will not be elevated, impacting communication with the President. This decision follows Trump's criticism of the UN's efficacy and prior funding cuts. The Cabinet designation for the UN ambassador has varied across administrations, with Trump previously indicating a different status for a nominee who was later withdrawn.
