The State Department has faced criticism for its sluggishness and unnecessary bloat in bureaucracy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent reductions in force led to approximately 1,350 layoffs, a mere 15 percent of its Washington-based workforce, indicating efforts to address structural inefficiencies. The overall goal is to realign the department’s functions with the administration’s foreign policy objectives, which has deemed certain agendas irrelevant. While the cuts are significant for affected individuals, the broader view is that U.S. foreign policy must prioritize effectiveness over job preservation.
