Evening Edition: First 100 Days - Reorganizing The State Department

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced a major overhaul of the State Department, including dissolving offices and positions in the department, aimed at cutting bureaucratic decisions and programs that the administration doesn't agree with. Critics say it will weaken efforts to combat extremism, encourage human-rights and to shine light on war crimes. Secretary Rubio says the changes will greatly empower our diplomats and help them refocus on U.S. interests around the world. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rich Edson, senior national correspondent for the FOX News Channel, who says these changes were first planned in President Trump's first term under then Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
