On the 14th local time, the plan initiated by U.S. President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to significantly reduce the number of federal government employees continued to advance, resulting in the layoffs of more than 9,500 people. Several departments also announced the number of layoffs and layoff plans that day. The Trump administration is pushing for a large-scale reduction in federal government staff, providing 'buyout' plans to federal employees to encourage voluntary resignations, while also laying off probationary employees.

On the 14th, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laid off nearly 1,300 people in one day, accounting for one-tenth of the total workforce, the vast majority of whom were probationary employees and new hires within their first year. The laid-off employees received notification of their termination directly on the 14th and were subsequently unable to log into the service system.

After taking office, President Trump signed an executive order to establish an advisory committee called the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE), led by Tesla CEO Musk, aimed at reducing government spending. On the 13th local time, Musk stated during a video speech at the World Government Summit in Dubai, UAE, that the U.S. certainly does not need 450 federal agencies, and some agencies need to be completely eliminated.
