Experts are expecting more announcements to follow suit, as they are anticipating a reshuffle in the power dynamics of the national security team, especially with reports of White House chief of staff John Kelly's resignation doing the rounds.
Quoting sources, CNN reported that Kelly may resign in the coming days with Trump and Kelly's relationship hitting a wall, as both of them have stopped speaking to each other. (ANI)
