Tweety has Pompeo and Bolton to carry his water now, all is clear in his foreign policy now. There will be no one to argue, not a lot anyway, with Trumps' ideas.

It helps that Gen Mattis is gone also.
"'Mad Dog' Defanged: How A Missing Missile Defense Report Explains Mattis' Impending Departure"

Aerospace & Defense I write about national security, especially its business dimensions.
"On January 27, 2017, shortly after his inauguration, President Donald J. Trump directed the Pentagon to undertake a Nuclear Posture Review and a Ballistic Missile Defense Review. Trump had spoken frequently about nuclear threats during the campaign season, so he wanted to make an early start on evaluating the adequacy of both the offensive and defensive features of U.S. strategic policy."
Mattis delayed the report on Ballistic Missile Defense.
"The Ballistic Missile Defense Review was another matter, because the White House had been signaling since inauguration day that it wanted to significantly strengthen the nation's ability to intercept and destroy nuclear weapons posing the greatest threat to the American homeland. That goal went well beyond what the Obama administration had planned. In fact, Obama's advisers feared too much investment in missile defense of the homeland might lead to a destabilizing arms race with Russia and/or China.
That is at least part of the reason why the missile defense review never quite got completed."
So it seems Mattis slow rolled the report Tweety wanted so he could move on missile defense.
