KT McFarland to exit White House as McMaster consolidates power

WASHINGTON: KT McFarland has been asked to step down as deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump after less than three months and will become US ambassador to Singapore, according to a person familiar with White House personnel moves.

The departure of the 65-year-old former Fox News commentator comes as Trump’s second National Security Advisor, Lt General HR McMaster, puts his own stamp on the National Security Council after taking over in February following the firing of Michael Flynn.

It follows a reorganisation of the NSC in the past week to remove Stephen Bannon from the principals committee.
