Prehistory:
- In May, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Congress that the State Department was planning to reduce almost 2,000 employees within the reform that should simplify the structure and reduce the “bloated bureaucracy, which stifles innovations and incorrectly distributes limited resources.”
- On July 8, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to launch large -scale liberation and reorganization in 19 Federal Offices, canceling lower instance decisions, which temporarily forbidden the reduction of thousands of employees due to lack of consultations with Congress.
