Coordinate international economic policy entirely from the NEC
Printed page 54 2. Executive Office of the President
“In addition, the Principal Deputy for international economic policy is jointly appointed at NEC and NSC and could end up serving two different interests. To avoid such problems, international economic policy should be entirely coordinated from NEC.”
What has happened
- Not started
International economic policy has not been moved wholly to the NEC. The architecture published in the window points the other way: NSPM-1 keeps the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy inside the NSC process as a regular invitee, seats the National Security Advisor to the Vice President alongside him, and gives the National Security Advisor the discretion to set the agenda; EO 14213 puts the NEC Director, the National Security Advisor and the Domestic Policy Advisor together on the National Energy Dominance Council under a Cabinet Secretary's chair; and the tariff orders divide international economic authority between the Commerce Secretary and the U.S. Trade Representative rather than routing it through the NEC. Nothing addresses the joint NEC-NSC Principal Deputy the Quote objects to.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Negative search. Read NSPM-1, EO 14213 and EO 14346 in full. White House presidential actions and presidential documents in the Federal Register searched for “National Economic Council” and “international economic policy” — nothing organizing the function.
