The U.S. State Department has begun a significant reduction in its workforce, laying off more than 1,300 employees as part of a sweeping reorganization plan under the Trump administration. With layoffs expected to affect nearly 15% of domestic staff, many veteran diplomats are expressing confusion and concern over the sudden changes. The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the agency to proceed with the terminations, which have left numerous employees feeling emotional as they exit. This major overhaul has sparked fears about the potential impact on U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic operations.
