The most recent press release, "The United States Condemns Reported Attacks in Chin State," was submitted on Oct. 31.
The U.S. Dept of State published 216 the month before, marking a four percent decrease for the current month.
The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.
The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy found the Department has a serious retention crisis and is at risk of losing well-trained and competent staff.
Data collected on Nov. 1, 2021 by the Dept. of State.
