Secretary of State Marco Rubio is cutting 700 positions and 132 offices at the State Department as part of a major reorganization to streamline what he calls a “bloated” bureaucracy.

Key offices, including the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations and the Under Secretary for Civilian Security, are being eliminated.

Rubio criticized the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor for promoting left-wing agendas and is placing it under tighter oversight.

The USAID agency will be dismantled and folded into the State Department, NPR has reported.

Democrats are calling for more transparency, warning the changes could weaken U.S. global influence.
