A report states that the Trump transition team requested the resignation of three State Department officials.
A US official expressed concern that this could lead to something more severe, according to Reuters.
According to Reuters, Trump's transition team has reportedly requested the resignation of three senior career diplomats who oversee the State Department's workforce and internal coordination. This move could indicate the Trump team's intention to implement significant changes within the department.
A U.S. official expressed concern that this could lead to something more severe, according to Reuters.
Unlike political appointees, diplomats usually do not resign when a president departs office.
Trump's move to target the "deep state" is a continuation of his efforts to transform the government bureaucratically.
Trump's team stated that it is appropriate for the transition to seek officials who share his vision for prioritizing the interests of the nation and American workers. They emphasized the need for a dedicated team committed to addressing the failures and achieving the same goals.
The world is currently experiencing a chaotic period, with conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, and Israel and Hamas taking place.
Despite doubts about Trump's foreign policy plans, some view global changes as evidence of his achievements.
Trump's first term's hallmark foreign policy move was the Abraham Accords, which led to peace in the Middle East. Now, after over a year of conflict, Israel and Hamas are on the brink of ending their war. Biden's White House national security communications adviser John Kirby acknowledged Trump's incoming Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff as a crucial figure in negotiating a potential deal.
On Wednesday, Kirby stated on "Your World" that the president emphasized to the national security team the importance of ensuring that the Trump team, specifically Mr. Witkoff, were fully committed to and involved in all our actions because they would be responsible for the outcomes when we departed office.
The Trump transition team did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
