💨 Abstract

The Trump administration plans to drastically cut the State Department budget by half, potentially closing nearly 30 U.S. missions globally and slashing foreign aid. The proposal, outlined in internal documents, also aims to merge some functions of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) into the State Department, while eliminating programs deemed duplicative or inconsistent with administration priorities.
