Organization of the National Security Council and Subcommittees

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum to reorganize the National Security Council (NSC) and its subcommittees, aiming to enhance the adaptability and comprehensiveness of U.S. national security decision-making. This directive prioritizes integrated interagency solutions to address complex security threats and establishes clear roles for the National Security Advisor and Homeland Security Advisor. By superseding previous directives, this action could streamline national security processes, though it may face scrutiny over its impact on inter-agency dynamics and the concentration of decision-making power within the executive branch.
