Trump Shrinks National Security Council Again | JQJO

President Trump has significantly reduced the size of the National Security Council (NSC), dismissing dozens of staff members. The cuts aim to eliminate bureaucracy and shift responsibilities back to individual agencies. This restructuring follows a similar move in Trump's first term and leaves the NSC at roughly its previous size. The president has increasingly relied on cabinet members for foreign policy advice, rather than the NSC, which has seen its role diminished.
