The National Counterterrorism Center, under newly confirmed director Joe Kent, will refocus on its core counterterrorism mission while also expanding into counternarcotics, reflecting the Trump administration's push to treat drug trafficking as a national security threat. Officials said the move builds on work that began earlier this year.

The director of national intelligence will also revoke the security clearances for 37 US intelligence officials who served under Biden and Obama.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says it will dramatically reduce its workforce and cut its budget by more than $700 million annually.
