Trump's Reform Plans for State Department
The Trump administration is set to overhaul the State Department with significant implications worldwide:
- Activities in Africa to cease, embassies to close
- Global regional bureaus to merge and close
- Bureaus handling democracy, refugees, and human rights to be dissolved
- Special envoy for climate to be eliminated
The decree, aimed at disciplined reorganization and combating waste, fraud, and abuse, could lead to mass layoffs. The use of AI in policy development is also emphasized.
