In a significant move, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has unveiled a major overhaul plan for the State Department, citing it as “bloated” and inefficient. He has raised concerns about the department prioritizing radical ideology over American interests and has called for streamlining regional functions, removing duplications, and discontinuing programs not in line with national interests. This restructuring initiative is in line with President Trump’s “America First” policy, aiming to make the department more efficient and focused on serving the country’s interests. Rubio’s announcement marks a significant shift in the department’s approach and is expected to bring about substantial changes in its operations.
