Scores of Senior Diplomats Resign from State Department Effective at Noon on January 20, 2025, Ahead of Trump Inauguration
Jan 20, 2025, 12:53 AM
Scores of senior career diplomats at the State Department are resigning effective at noon on Monday, following instructions from aides of President-elect Donald Trump. This move, which is typical for incoming administrations, reflects Trump's intention to swiftly distance his administration from the policies of the Biden era. The resignations were requested by Trump's team as part of a broader strategy to implement significant changes in foreign policy and governance. The exits of these diplomats, along with the appointment of new temporary bureau heads, are expected to impact the policy process and enforcement within the State Department.
