US EditionTrump Downsizes National Security Council in Latest Staff Cuts
- In early May 2025, President Donald Trump directed a significant restructuring of the National Security Council, reducing its staff in Washington, D.C., and reassigning many career officials to their previous agencies.
- The reorganization followed internal reviews and concerns about staffing loyalty raised by activist Laura Loomer, who urged Trump to remove aides she viewed as insufficiently loyal.
- The restructuring will see numerous career officials detailed to the National Security Council return to their original agencies and result in the dismissal of several political appointees, including Mike Waltz, the former national security adviser recently nominated as ambassador to the United Nations.
- Approximately 90 to 95 policy experts out of roughly 395 NSC employees, including 180 support staff, are being ousted, leading officials to describe the change as a 'liquidation' of NSC staffing.
- The shakeup is expected to significantly reduce NSC personnel and enhance the roles of the State Department and Pentagon, reflecting an effort to realign the council with Trump's agenda.
