If enacted changes would be one of the biggest reorganizations of department since its founding in 1789
A draft Trump administration executive order circulating among US diplomats proposes a radical restructuring of the US state department, including drastic reductions to sub-Saharan operations, envoys and bureaus relating to climate, refugees, human rights, democracy and gender equality.
The changes, if enacted, would be one of the biggest reorganizations of the department since its founding in 1789, according to Bloomberg, which had seen a copy of the 16-page draft, which first reported on the draft.
The proposals reportedly also include the elimination of the Bureau of International Organizations, which liaises with the United Nations and a cut in diplomatic operations in Canada. Overall, the draft proposes a significant rejection of the US commitment to a multilateral world order.
Man, putting “draft order” in the headline is super shitty.
A gift to China and Russia yet again.
Razis and Nazis are running US now.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Rubio called this fake news and gloated about how easily the NYTimes fell for it. I’ve seen a copy, and it’s flat out bonkers. Missing even mentioning entire segments of what State does. Not formatted for an EO, and at 16 pages, would be one of the longest EOs ever.
What’s most likely is that Pete Marocco drafted this months ago while high on himself, and when he was fired last week, he “leaked” this to prove that he was the MAGA purist and that Rubio isn’t a true believer.
I heard it was the couch fucker that leaked it as he was feeling jealous of musk and alcoholic news anchor getting more attention.
FWIW, the real version now that it’s out, bares hardly any resemblance to this “draft.”
Boil the frog slowly and tell it horror stories about how it could have been deep fried all the while.
