Trump reportedly drafted an executive order for 'a disciplined reorganization' of the State Department that would shut [View all]

down embassies and cut climate change and refugee offices

The Department of State could be in for a massive overhaul. 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 Trump’s 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 Department’s operations in Africa, shut down embassies, and cut offices at the agency’s 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.
