‘Abolished’: Over 1,300 State Department Employees Laid Off Under Trump Plan

In a bold restructuring move, the Trump administration slashed over 1,300 jobs from the State Department — part of a broader effort to cut bureaucratic bloat and refocus U.S. foreign policy priorities.

Supporters say it was about ending endless wars and draining the D.C. swamp. Critics claim it undermined diplomatic capacity. The truth? America had long been over-leveraged on foreign entanglements while ignoring urgent issues at home.

A leaner, more accountable State Department could help put America’s interests first—if followed through with transparency and reform.

'Abolished': State Department is laying off over 1,300 employees under Trump administration plan

The U.S. State Department is firing more than 1,300 employees on Friday in line with a dramatic reorganization plan from the Trump administration that critics say will damage America's global leadership and efforts to counter threats abroad. The department has begun sending layoff notices to 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with assignments in the United States, according to a senior department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Staff began to receive notices shortly after 10 a.m. Friday saying their positions were being “abolished” and that they would be losing access to the department's headquarters in Washington as well as their email and share drives by 5 p.m., according to a copy of one of the notices obtained by The Associated Press.
