In a significant move, U.S. President Donald Trump has discontinued security protection for Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, and Brian Hook, a former aide. This development was highlighted by the New York Times on Thursday.

The report, which references anonymous informants familiar with the situation, also notes Trump's recent decision to revoke security benefits for his former national security adviser, John Bolton.
