McFarland will stay on for just two more weeks.

The move follows Trump’s removal of chief White House strategist Stephen Bannon from his role on the National Security Council last week.

McFarland was a national security analyst for Fox News and worked under three Republican administrations before she was tapped for the role as Trump’s deputy national security adviser.

The New York Times reported in February that McFarland was expected to leave her role following the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn.

McFarland will remain in the administration however. She will become the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore.
