💨 Abstract

The U.S. State Department proposed a significant reorganization in 2025, aiming for an 18% reduction in staff and cuts to various programs. This move, part of a broader effort to reshape American diplomacy and reduce government size, includes eliminating offices focused on Afghanistan resettlement, global women's issues, and diversity and inclusion. Critics argue that these cuts are not about streamlining but about dismantling essential services, particularly for Afghan evacuees.
