WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is reorganizing the U.S. Department of State to eliminate certain offices that it considers redundant as well as some programs that it says do not align with U.S. interests, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday.
"This approach will empower the Department from the ground up, from the bureaus to the embassies. 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," Rubio said in a statement.
