A draft executive order from the Trump administration proposes significant restructuring of the U.S. State Department, aiming to cut operations in sub-Saharan Africa, and reduce functions related to climate, human rights, democracy, and gender equality. The outlined changes could constitute the largest overhaul of the department since 1789. Additionally, elements like the Bureau of International Organizationsâresponsible for UN relationsâmight be eliminated, reflecting a stark move away from the U.S.'s previous commitment to multilateralism. The changes could take effect by October 1 if signed by the president.
The draft executive order proposes to reorganize the State Department drastically, affecting operations related to climate, human rights, and diplomacy, signaling a shift away from multilateralism.
This restructuring suggests the Trump administration intends to streamline operations, eliminate certain bureaus, including those engaging with the UN, and close some embassies in underrepresented areas.
