In a significant restructuring, the Trump administration has dramatically downsized the National Security Council (NSC), reportedly placing over 100 staffers on administrative leave. This restructuring aims to reshape the NSC, with sources indicating that staff levels will be cut by half. The overhaul has raised concerns over the intentions behind the changes, as officials suggest that Trump desires a more aligned advisory team. Additionally, Senator Marco Rubio is mentioned as working on reforms for the NSC, which adds to the uncertainty regarding its future direction.
