On May 23, the Trump White House enacted a major overhaul of the National Security Council (NSC). These layoffs come just three weeks after President Trump removed Michael Waltz from the role of national security adviser and appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the position.

Despite its outsized power in Washington, the National Security Council is not well known to the general public, which is why the Institute for Global Affairs at Eurasia Group has been closely tracking personnel moves and how they translate into policy.

Many of the senior NSC staff profiled in IGA’s in-depth resource — Who’s Who on Trump’s National Security Council — have now been pushed out of their roles. Among those reported to be departing are Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong, Senior Director for the Middle East and North Africa Eric Trager, Senior Director for Europe Andrew Peek, as well as communications team members like Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Brian Hughes. Some of these staffers are likely to be reshuffled to other agencies.

Details are emerging on how the NSC will look after its makeover. “Some of the teams on the council that focus on specific regions or issues will be gutted, while others will be collapsed and folded into others. Still other teams will cease to exist,” The New York Times reported.
