Abstract

The National Security Council (NSC) under President Trump has been sidelined, with Trump relying on his own instincts and a close circle of loyalists for key decisions. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, acting as NSC director, brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, showcasing the shift in power dynamics. Trump's administration has reduced the influence of the NSC, opting for a more centralized decision-making process, which has raised concerns about potential policy mistakes. The NSC's traditional role in shaping US foreign policy has been diminished, with Trump emphasizing his own judgment over expert advice. [Extracted from the article]
