State Secretary Marco Rubio on Tuesday unveiled the extensive reorganization of the State Department, calling the government’s diplomatic agency “bloated, bureaucratic” and “staring for radical political ideology”.
Mr. Rubio released the plan as an organizational chart and a brief official statement with some other details. The step is the latest by President Trump’s administration, which reduces the government to an extent to ignore the generations, which has been called by critics a small blunt attack on the federal bureaucracy.
In the announcement, Mr. Rubio did not give much information about ideology or ideas, which he objected to, but the chart and a substation post revealed some of his thinking. The most rigorous changes are the abolition of the office of the Under Secretary for Civil Defense, Democracy and Human Rights, which is charged for furthering American values worldwide.
According to the reorganization chart posted on the website of the state department, some elements of that office, a bureau for democracy and human rights, will be cut and turned into an office for refugees.
The department issued an internal fact sheet, providing more details on Mr. Rubio’s plan, including the total offices of the agency to 734 to 602 or by 17 percent. It was also said that Mr. Rubio had instructed senior officials to distribute schemes soon to reduce the number of US-based employees by 15 percent.
The New York Times on Sunday labeled an “Executive Order” on a draft document, underlining plans for the rigorous reorganization of the department, which included cutting the entire office of the Under Secretary and many other parts of the agency for civil security, democracy and human rights.
On Tuesday, in a new State Department account on the substation, Mr. Rubio wrote that “a platform for leftist activists” had become “platform for left-wing activists” to try to promote weapons against weapons against Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Bureau Orthodox leaders.
Mr. Rubio accused the bureau for population, refugees and migration that they had to send millions of taxpayers to non -government groups who promoted large -scale migration, including “attack on our southern border”. Language echoed Mr. Trump, and Mr. Rubio did not give evidence for any of his claims.
As a Republican Senator from Florida, Mr. Rubio was an enthusiastic champion to promote traditional American values abroad and supported the work of the State Department by that end. But as a secretary, he has come close to Mr. Trump’s transaction to foreign policy.
Diplomatic and civil service employees are working with more details and other deductions for internal announcements because senior political appointments complete the reorganization. Officials say that the scheme also includes involving some embassies and consulates.
US officials have said that foreign aid offices will also be for international development for the United States agency, which was recently done by Mr. Rubio and other Trump administration officials in coordination with Orthodox billionaire Elon Musk.
In a statement, Mr. Rubio said that the size and cost of the state department had “increased” in the last 15 years and the new scheme would focus on the US’s main national interests “.
Mr. Rubio said that he would add overlapping offices and abolish some programs which were not compulsory by the Congress. But he did not provide examples, and his statement used Merky Bureaucracy Language: “The field-specific tasks would be consolidated to increase functionality,” he said.
