White House seeks to a severe adjustment of the State Department’s budget and budget

According to the Associated Press, informed officials said the White House Budget and Budget Office has proposed reducing the US Department of State’s budget by approximately 2 %, with several US diplomatic delegations closed in foreign countries, reducing the number of diplomatic staff and allegedly reduced the number of diplomatic staff.

According to the report, which was given to the US State Department last week, it is still in a preliminary phase and is not expected to be accepted by the ministry’s leaders or a congress that should approve the entire federal government budget in the coming months.

Informed officials have said the proposal should be reviewed for several rounds before it is submitted to Congress lawmakers, and in the past, congressional lawmakers have reformed and even rejected the White House budget plans.

Although the proposal is in the preliminary phase, it reflects the priority of Donald Trump’s administration to continue to adjust the power and budgets of federal government organizations; Among the organizations and ministries that have been targeted by the Trump administration have been the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the International Development Agency.

A senior US official informed that the management and budget office, which did not disclose its name, called the plan a “offensive” cost, but also stressed that the plan reflects the actions of Russell Woot, head of the White House Bureau of Management and Budget, when he had the same position in Donald Trump’s first government.

Two other informed sources confirmed the proposal, and one also confirmed that it was the source of the management and budget office.

“There has been no final decision on the budget yet,” said Alexandra McKandels, a spokesman for the White House’s budget and budget office.

According to Reuters, the White House National Security Council also did not respond to the request to comment on the plan.

In Donald Trump’s first government, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget efforts to sharply reduce the US State Department’s budget have faced a strong resistance to Congress and were largely failed.

But Donald Trump immediately after his second government began to adjust the federal government’s budget and personnel and signed the conflict with the signed laws of many budgets and businesses in the institutions of the government.

Trump’s second government has so far dismantled the US International Development Agency, and the budgets of many affiliated media that have acted as Washington media tools against competitors and enemies of the United States, including “Voice of America”, “Free Europe Radio”, “Free Asia Radio” and other media outlets.

However, according to the Associated Press, US State Department officials and other officials have expressed concern that the government is likely to be implemented by the government.

Democratic Senator Jane Shahin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he was very upset about hearing the plan to adjust the power and cost against the State Department.

“When we reach the” only American “slogan, our economy, security and success will be hit, and our rivals will fill the vacuum left by the Trump administration,” he said in a statement.

According to notes within the US State Department’s meeting aimed at discussing the proposal, the proposals include half the funding of foreign -managed foreign aid budget by the US State Department and the US International Development Agency, which was $ 5 billion in year 2.

Another proposal includes the elimination of an office that helped Afghans working with the Americans during the occupation of Afghanistan to migrate to other countries to flee the Taliban.
