US EditionState Department Notifies Congress of Reorganization Plan with Bigger Cuts to Programs and Staff
- The Trump administration notified Congress on Thursday, June 1, 2025, of a major State Department reorganization cutting programs and staff primarily in the U.S.
- This overhaul follows President Trump's goal to shrink bureaucracy and align the department with his America First priorities by eliminating overlapping and ideological programs.
- The plan consolidates over 300 departmental units, integrates the Bureau of Energy Resources into another bureau, dissolves divisions focused on climate change and human rights, and reorganizes efforts related to refugee and Afghan resettlement programs.
- The department intends to cut 3,448 domestic positions, representing an 18% reduction in U.S.-based staff, while maintaining its overseas workforce; Rubio emphasized that achieving efficient and effective diplomacy necessitates reducing excessive and overlapping administrative structures.
- The reorganization may disrupt efforts to resettle Afghans, prompting criticism from veterans like Shawn VanDiver, who described the cuts as a serious violation of the principles and commitments America stands for.
