White House deputy national security adviser Andy Baker is set to leave the Trump administration in the coming weeks, according to multiple sources.

Baker also served as national security advisor to Vice President JD Vance and has been a key figure in the administration’s foreign policy and national security decision-making throughout Trump’s second term.

A source close to Baker stated that he wants to spend more time with his family and stayed on months longer than planned to ensure an orderly transition to Sims and Needham. The source noted that Baker will work in the private sector with Robert O’Brien, who previously served as President Trump’s fourth national security advisor during his first term.

In a statement released to the media, Baker expressed pride in his achievements and gratitude to the President, Vice President, and Secretary Rubio. “This has been an amazing journey,” Baker said. “I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved and, of course, am incredibly grateful to the President, Vice President, and Secretary Rubio.”

Vice President Vance also commented on Baker’s departure, calling him “an exceptionally gifted, deeply thoughtful advisor who has served the President and me with distinction.” Vance added that Baker had been an “indispensable member” of their administration’s national security team.

Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson praised Baker as a “brilliant and kind person — and a true believer in the America First foreign policy agenda.”

Baker, a former State Department official and academic who advised Vance during his Senate tenure, historically advocated for a more restrained American foreign policy. He also helped craft Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference last year.
