The workforce is being reduced and much of its power has been transferred to the Departments of State and Defense.
President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are overseeing staff cuts and reorganization of the National Security Council (NSC). More than 100 aides are leaving the agency and those originally from the Departments of State and Defense return to their prior positions.
Some appointees have been placed on administrative leave as the administration reportedly considers alternate roles for them.
“The right-sizing of the NSC is in line with its original purpose and the president’s vision,” Secretary Rubio, who currently serves as Acting National Security Advisor stated. “The NSC will now be better positioned to collaborate with agencies.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for President Trump as he heads the Executive Branch and works to reduce bureaucracy in the federal government.
- For Secretary of State Rubio to be led by the Lord as he serves as Acting National Security Advisor, Acting Administrator of USAID, and Acting Archivist of the U.S.
