How high-profile exits from US national security team can impact India
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson exited President Donald Trump’s security team last week, and now there are reports of National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster’s exit.
Last week, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson exited President Donald Trump’s security team after being fired by the latter following months of speculation. And now news reports of another high-profile exit from Trump’s team is gathering steam—of National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster.
A Reuters report last month said McMaster and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly could both be on their way out—thanks to longstanding friction with the president despite denials by White House spokesman Raj Shah.
