WASHINGTON D.C. — Trump’s men at the United Nations.
Donald J. Trump has appointed an unconventional leadership team at the United Nations, led by Ambassador Mike Waltz and Deputy Ambassador Jeff Bartos.
The business-focused reformers are targeting the international body’s budget and aiming to refocus it on core security missions. The strategy has sparked debate over prioritizing corporate management experience over traditional diplomacy.
Ambassador Mike Waltz and Deputy Ambassador Jeff Bartos posed at WASHINGTON D.C. on 10/08/2026.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
