Trump Administration’s Diplomatic Restructuring Plan Sparks Controversy

A leaked draft order from the Trump administration proposes a significant restructuring of the State Department, impacting its global presence and personnel. The 16-page document outlines drastic changes to diplomatic engagement, including shutting down most Africa programs, eliminating embassies in sub-Saharan Africa, and replacing experienced diplomats with those loyal to President Trump. Critics warn that these policies risk erasing decades of expertise while concentrating power within the White House.
