Trump Downsizes National Security Council in Latest Staff Cuts
- In early May 2025, President Donald Trump initiated a significant reorganization of the National Security Council, appointing Marco Rubio as national security adviser in place of Mike Waltz and sidelining roughly 160 staff members.
- This overhaul followed a period of continuous turmoil within the NSC, intensified by far-right activist Laura Loomer's concerns about staff loyalty and Trump's earlier firing of several NSC officials.
- The restructuring includes returning many career government detailees to their home agencies, dismissing several political appointees, and is expected to reduce NSC staff significantly while elevating the roles of the State Department and Pentagon.
- Approximately 395 personnel worked at the NSC before the changes, with about 90 to 95 policy experts among those affected, and a White House official described the shakeup as a 'liquidation' of staffing.
- The shakeup suggests a shift toward aligning NSC staffing closely with Trump's agenda, amid concerns that Waltz's more traditional Republican foreign policies diverged from Trump's preference for diplomatic restraint.
