The US State Department informed Congress that it will carry out a large-scale restructuring and cut thousands of employees. According to this large-scale restructuring plan, nearly 45% of the more than 700 domestic offices of the US State Department will be abolished, consolidated, or streamlined. Specifically, several institutions established during the tenure of former President Joe Biden will be shut down, including the Office of Global Women's Issues and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The Department of Population, Refugees and Immigration, which was originally responsible for refugee affairs, will focus on the “repatriation of illegal immigrants” function after the restructuring. Also, according to US media reports, the US State Department currently has a total of about 18,780 employees. According to the restructuring plan, the agency will reduce the number of civil servants and diplomats in the US by 3,448. In addition, the US Department of State will add a position of Deputy Secretary of State to be responsible for foreign aid matters. The responsibilities include the work of the abolished US Agency for International Development.
