The State Department plans to lay off more than 1,300 employees, including 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers, due to a major reorganization initiated by the Trump administration. The affected foreign service officers will be put on administrative leave for 120 days before losing their positions. The reorganization aims to streamline operations, focusing on diplomatic priorities and consolidating functions to increase efficiency. Although promoted by administration officials as necessary, critics argue these layoffs will diminish U.S. global influence and diplomatic capabilities.
