Move all international economic policy coordination exclusively into NEC
Mandate says to avoid dual NEC/NSC loyalties by coordinating international economic policy entirely from the National Economic Council, and to have NEC advise PPO on financial-regulator appointments to overcome career resistance.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 2 (Executive Office of the President) — NEC: set clear jurisdictions at start; Principal Deputy for international economic policy jointly appointed at NEC and NSC could serve two interests—international economic policy should be entirely coordinated from NEC; NEC should advise PPO on appointments including financial regulatory agencies and senior staff able to overcome civil-servant resistance.
Undo plan
1) Restore joint NEC–NSC coordination for trade/security nexus issues rather than exclusive NEC ownership.
2) Separate financial-regulator appointments from partisan NEC litmus tests; reinstate expertise and independence norms.
3) Publish jurisdictional MOUs among NEC, NSC, DPC, and USTR.
4) Protect career technical staff from purge-for-resistance framing.
5) Verify: interagency memo trail on major international economic decisions showing multi-council input.
