According to a report by the American financial media Semafor, after the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for the Trump administration to advance its agency reorganization and streamlining plan, U.S. State Department employees are preparing for a potential large-scale layoff that may start this Friday local time. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court's ruling that blocked the original layoff plan, which could affect thousands of employees. According to multiple sources, the U.S. State Department has anticipated this ruling and is currently preparing to initiate a 'mandatory reduction' notification process this week, although the specific timeline remains uncertain. While waiting for the Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. State Department has begun preparing a broader reorganization plan: last month, the department asked civil servants to submit their updated resumes and revised the 'Foreign Affairs Manual' to meet the needs of the reorganization.
