A draft executive order obtained by The New York Times shows what would be one of the largest reorganizations of the agency since its founding in 1789. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denies there are changes in the works.
In President Donald Trumps latest effort to overhaul federal government offices, he reportedly drafted an executive order that would drastically alter the State Department.
The executive order would eliminate nearly all of the State Departments operations in Africa, shut down embassies, and cut offices at the agencys headquarters that address climate change as well as refugee, democracy, and human rights issues, according to a 16-page draft order obtained by The New York Times.
According to the document, this would be a disciplined reorganization of the agency to streamline mission delivery and cut waste, fraud, and abuse. If the executive order is enacted, this would mark one of the most significant reorganizations of the State Department since its 1789 inception, according to Bloomberg. The changes would need to be made by Oct. 1, the document shows.

(3,523 posts)He thought he was getting forth-place prize...only to have Trump kneecap him in the role. I think Trump played the long game here to emabrrass Rubio after 2016 Republican primary.
