💨 Abstract

In a recent announcement, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed plans to bolster embassy staffing and implement AI to expedite visa processing ahead of the World Cup and Olympics. The State Department aims to handle increased visa demands by extending working hours, reassigning diplomats, and leveraging technology. These efforts come amid anticipated budget cuts for other departments under Rubio's reform plan. Additionally, two Israeli Embassy staff members were killed in a shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C.
