President Donald Trump is ordering a major overhaul of the National Security Council that will shrink its size, lead to the ouster of some political appointees and return many career government employees back to their home agencies.

The White House National Security Council (NSC) has seen a substantial reduction in its workforce as part of President Donald Trump’s strategy to trim down the council’s size. What Happened: According to a report by Reuters, dozens of employees were dismissed from the White House National Security Council on Friday.

Under the plan, the NSC would shrink and shift from making recommendations to the president to carrying out his orders.
