Trump weakens NSC; Rubio leads foreign policy

Donald Trump has sidelined the National Security Council, diminishing its influence in favor of his own instincts and loyalists, with Marco Rubio temporarily taking the helm. Trump has reduced the NSC's staff and impact, relying on figures like Steve Witkoff for diplomatic efforts. Rubio, also Secretary of State, announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, highlighting the shift in power. This move comes as Trump seeks to resolve global conflicts and reshape international trade. The NSC, once a key foreign policy shaper, is now less central to the administration's decision-making.
