National Security Council Cut by Half
Briefly

The Trump administration executed a major restructuring of the National Security Council (NSC), dismissing roughly half its members. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that this 'right-sizing' aligns with the original aim of the NSC, aiming to improve collaboration across government agencies. Officials pointed to excessive bureaucracy as a key reason for the overhaul. This restructuring has been portrayed as a battle against the so-called 'Deep State,' with Rubio and his appointees positioned to lead a more streamlined, efficient NSC.
"The right-sizing of the NSC is in line with its original purpose and the president's vision," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, emphasizing improved collaboration.
The NSC is the ultimate Deep State. It's Marco vs. the Deep State. We're gutting the Deep State," an anonymous official claimed, underlining the administration's drastic approach.
