  • President Donald Trump's administration has asked U.S. embassies worldwide to prepare for staff cuts, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday, as part of the Republican president's effort to overhaul the U.

The article from Reuters, published on February 13, 2025, discusses how U.S. embassies worldwide have been instructed to prepare for potential staff reductions as part of former President Donald Trump's plan to overhaul the diplomatic corps if he wins the 2024 election. Sources indicate that Trump's team is considering significant changes to the State Department, including the dismissal of many current diplomats and the appointment of loyalists. This move is part of a broader strategy to align the diplomatic corps more closely with Trump's "America First" policy, potentially affecting morale and operational capabilities of U.S. diplomatic missions. The plan has raised concerns about the politicization of the foreign service and its impact on U.S. foreign relations.
