Trump Downsizes National Security Council in Latest Staff Cuts.

The article focuses on President Donald Trump's significant downsizing of the National Security Council (NSC) as part of a broader restructuring of foreign policy coordination at the White House. This move reportedly involves placing some NSC officials on administrative leave and reducing the council's size by half. The restructuring follows the sidelining of National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, who faced criticism for a security breach, and the appointment of Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the interim head of the NSC. The changes have raised concerns about the implications for Trump's foreign policy initiatives, particularly in relation to ongoing negotiations with Russia, Ukraine, and Iran, as well as potential tariff increases affecting global markets.
