Trump Administration Draft Order Calls for Drastic Overhaul of State Department

A draft of a Trump administration executive order proposes a drastic restructuring of the State Department that includes eliminating almost all of its Africa operations and shutting down embassies and consulates across the continent, according to American officials and a copy of the document.

The draft also calls for cutting offices at State Department headquarters that address climate change and refugee issues, as well as democracy and human rights concerns.

It was not immediately clear who had compiled the document or what stage of internal debates over a restructuring of the State Department it reflected. It is one of several recent documents proposing changes to the department, and internal administration conversations take place daily on possible actions.

Some of the ideas have been debated among U.S. officials in recent weeks, though it is unclear to what degree they would be adopted or how active the draft is, officials said.

Weird how no one is mentioned by name.

Of course, the Times doubles down with their second line

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote a short comment on social media after this article was published, calling it “fake news.” There are no indications that Mr. Rubio or his top aides have signed off on the document, though they have been working on a reorganization of the State Department.

There’s no indication because they haven’t. You read Rubio’s tweet, right? Now, I really wouldn’t be surprised if they are in the process of shutting down all the climate scam stuff, and significantly restricting immigrants from America hating countries and those that will cause problems. Nor should we expect a large number of “refugees” to be brought into the U.S. while Trump is president. Shutting down most operations in Africa? Yeah, that’s horseshit.

The purpose of the executive order is to impose “a disciplined reorganization” of the State Department and “streamline mission delivery” while cutting “waste, fraud and abuse,” according to a copy of the draft order obtained by The New York Times. The order says the department is supposed to make the changes by Oct. 1.

The non-existent EO? Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were going to change operations so that most of the US aid and money wouldn’t be wasted, that it would go to the people who need it, rather than the politicians, elites, and warlords in Africa.

Anyhow, it’s a pretty long article for something Rubio called fake news.
