The U.S. State Department will undergo a comprehensive reorganization to align with President Trump's "America First" foreign policy. The plan aims to revamp the Department, currently criticized for being "bloated" and "bureaucratic," to better tackle global challenges.
The restructuring intends to adapt the Department to the "new era of great power competition." Over the past 15 years, its size and expenses have increased, leading to a less efficient diplomatic mission. The changes will consolidate region-specific functions, eliminate redundant offices, and remove non-statutory programs misaligned with American interests.
The Secretary of State announced the initiative, expressing confidence that the reformed Department will "help make our country great once again." The new organizational chart for the U.S. State Department is available, and the changes will be implemented over the coming months.
