@newsbuzz247: 🚨 U.S. State Department Fires 1,353 Employees Amid Trump-Era Shake-Up On Friday, over 1,300 U.S.-based staffers were terminated under a sweeping reorganisation aligned with Trump’s “America First” agenda. This included: • 1,107 civil servants, who received 60-day separation notices • 246 domestically assigned foreign service officers, placed on 120-day administrative leave before their jobs end • Affected offices include ones focused on war crimes, human rights, and Afghan relocation programs, among others Critics warn this could damage U.S. diplomacy during global crises in Ukraine, Gaza, the Middle East, and Asia, while supporters, including Secretary Rubio, say the goal is to eliminate “non-core functions” and enhance efficiency (). Protests erupted outside the State Department as diplomats and lawmakers described the cuts as a “catastrophic blow” to U.S. global leadership #StateDeptLayoffs #DiplomacyCuts #TrumpEra #MarcoRubio #GlobalCrisis #ForeignService #USPolitics #NewsBuzz247 #BreakingNews #GovernmentRestructure #Fy #FYF
