Trump Overhauls National Security Council Staff | JQJO

President Trump is drastically restructuring the National Security Council (NSC), significantly reducing its staff. The overhaul involves removing numerous political appointees and returning career employees to their original agencies. This follows the recent dismissal of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who faced criticism for his foreign policy stances and alleged security breaches. The changes aim to strengthen the State Department and Pentagon's influence, though Trump ultimately relies on his own judgment. The NSC has experienced continuous turmoil under Trump's second term, marked by previous staff purges influenced by outside figures like Laura Loomer.
