The article discusses significant restructuring efforts within the Trump administration, particularly targeting the State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It reveals plans to cut costs and staff in programs related to human rights, democracy, and environmental justice teams, which could affect hundreds of employees. This reflects a broader strategy to minimize federal oversight and reshape America's foreign and domestic policies in alignment with the president's agenda. The reduction of these offices raises concerns about the implications for civil rights and environmental protections.
The proposed shake-up of America's primary foreign policy institution coincides with the Trump administration's efforts to reorient the United States on the world stage to align with the president's America First agenda.
EPA Assistant Deputy Administrator Travis Voyles sent notices late Monday to staff at the agency's headquarters working in the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, which the administration plans to close.
