US national security adviser Mike Waltz is reportedly leaving his post.
Mr Waltz faced scrutiny after it emerged he created a group chat on the messaging app Signal in which defence secretary Pete Hegseth and other US officials discussed strikes on Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.
It came to light after Mr Waltz accidentally added a US journalist to the group.
Reuters, quoting an unnamed source, said Mr Waltz is to leave the job after less than five months.
His deputy, Alex Wong, is also leaving, sources briefed on the matter reportedly told the news agency.
Mr Waltz is a highly decorated veteran of the special forces and the first Green Beret member to serve in Congress.
Donald Trump went through four different permanent national security advisers during his first term in the White House.
