Trump strategist Bannon dropped from National Security Council
White House senior advisor Steve Bannon has been removes from the National Security Council
Washington - Arab Today
Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump’s chief strategist, has lost his seat on the powerful National Security Council in a high-level shakeup.
Mr Trump’s elevation of Mr Bannon to a permanent spot on the NSC had been widely criticised as injecting politics into White House deliberations on sensitive defence, foreign policy and intelligence matters.
A former head of the far-right website Breitbart and now chief White House strategist, Mr Bannon is regarded as a controversial proponent of the nationalistic anti-globalism that helped propel Mr Trump to the White House.
In a presidential memo dated April 4, Bannon no longer appears on the list of regular attendees of NSC meetings.
Confirming that he has been removed as a permanent NSC member, a White House official said the move resulted from a reorganisation by Mr Trump’s new national security advisor, Lieutenant General HR McMaster.
Gen McMaster took over on February 20 after his predecessor Michael Flynn was fired amid a scandal over his secret conversations with Russia’s ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak.
The official said Gen McMaster has his own ideas about how to do things and Mr Trump had promised he could name his own people to the NSC.
