President Donald Trump's administration has said it is reorganizing the United States Department of State to eliminate certain offices that it considers redundant.
He said the government would as well as terminate some programs that it says do not align with US interests.
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said this in a statement on Tuesday.
According to him, this approach will empower the Department from the ground up, from the bureaus to the embassies.
He said that region-specific functions will be consolidated to increase functionality, redundant offices will be removed, and non-statutory programs that are misaligned with America’s core national interests will cease to exist.
