Mike Waltz’s Team Sets Up Signal Group Chats for Global Crises

Mike Waltz, a key figure in the Trump administration, has overseen the establishment of at least 20 Signal group chats designed to address global crises, according to recent reports from Politico, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and Reuters. These encrypted communication channels were set up to facilitate rapid response and coordination among Trump's advisers during international emergencies.

The initiative, led by Waltz's team, aims to enhance national security by ensuring secure and immediate communication. The use of Signal, known for its strong encryption, reflects a growing trend among government officials to leverage technology for sensitive discussions. This move comes amidst heightened global tensions and the need for swift, secure decision-making.

While the specifics of these group chats remain confidential, their existence underscores the administration's focus on technological solutions to geopolitical challenges. Critics, however, raise concerns about the potential for bypassing official channels and the implications for transparency and accountability in government operations.
