State Department to Close 132 Offices in Historic Restructuring Under Rubio

📝 DESCRIPTION
Why Rubio’s State Department restructuring is shaking up Washington reveals a dramatic push to streamline U.S. diplomacy like never before. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the closure of 132 offices—nearly 20% of the department—alongside a 15% cut in U.S.-based staff within 30 days. In partnership with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), this restructuring aims to eliminate "bloated bureaucracy" and redirect focus toward America's core national interests, slashing programs related to global activism, human rights, and democracy promotion. Critics argue it weakens U.S. soft power and diplomatic influence, while supporters hail it as a long-overdue return to lean governance and real-world priorities. With embassies spared—for now—and the renaming of major offices like the “J Office,” the shake-up is the biggest diplomatic reform in decades. Is this bold move a masterstroke of efficiency or a diplomatic gamble? Watch now and decide.
