Marco Rubio unveils massive State Department overhaul that includes a 15% staff cut and the closure of 100 bureaus worldwide

Quick Summary:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled a massive overhaul of the State Department as part of the Trump administration's "America First” mandate.

The plans came a week after the AP learned that the White House’s Office of Management and Budget proposed gutting the State Department’s budget by almost 50% and eliminating funding for the United Nations and NATO headquarters.

Numerous senior State Department officials, including Rubio himself, denied that the plan was real.
