Mark Green, the president of the Wilson Center, resigned following the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the think tank under an executive order. The purge coincided with the arrival of a team dispatched by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at restructuring federally funded institutions. Green faced pressure to resign, with suggestions he was offered the choice to step down or face termination. The move to gut the center is indicative of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to exert control over historically independent policy groups and federal agencies.
The resignation of the president, Mark Green, came after the Trump administration initiated plans to dismantle the Wilson Center under an executive order.
The Trump administration's actions reflect a concerted effort to bring federally funded independent institutions under executive control, marked by Green's ousting.
Mr. Green had reportedly been given an ultimatum: Step down or be fired, indicative of the administration's aggressive restructuring approach.
The ongoing actions symbolize a broader trend of undermining the autonomy of established think tanks and policy groups associated with federal funding.
