President Donald Trump defended National Security Adviser Mike Waltz after a Signal group chat discussing military operations mistakenly included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. Trump stated that Waltz does not need to apologize, emphasizing that the incident had “no impact at all” and that Waltz was “doing his best.”
Waltz accepted responsibility for the mistake but could not explain how it happened. Despite criticism, Trump expressed full confidence in him, calling him a “very good man” who would continue his work effectively.
The controversy has sparked concerns about using encrypted apps like Signal for sensitive discussions. However, the White House dismissed the issue, insisting that no classified information was compromised.
