President Trump has ordered a dramatic restructuring of the National Security Council (NSC), slashing its 350-member staff by half. The move is part of a broader overhaul led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also serving as acting national security adviser.
The administration said Friday’s decision aims to return the NSC to its “original purpose” by transferring staffers to other government roles, allowing for faster and more streamlined decision-making. “The NSC will now be better positioned to collaborate with agencies,” Rubio said in a statement.
Andy Baker and Robert Gabriel will now serve as deputy national security advisers. Baker will retain his role as Vice President JD Vance’s adviser, while expanding his duties to include NSC responsibilities.
The shake-up follows Trump’s appointment of Rubio as interim adviser after nominating Mike Waltz to be U.N. ambassador. It also comes weeks after five NSC aides were fired following a meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer, who questioned their loyalty to Trump.
