More cuts are coming at the National Security Council as part of an effort to make the council more efficient and to ensure that staffers are dedicated to carrying out policies chosen by President Donald Trump, national security adviser Robert O'Brien says.

O'Brien said during a Feb. 11 Atlantic Council discussion that officials are bringing the council “back to a manageable size,” one of his top priorities since taking office in September 2019.
