Wow! The shake up of the federal government by President Trump continues!
"The Trump administration abruptly recalled nearly 30 career ambassadors at U.S. embassies around the world, according to multiple officials familiar with the matter.
The U.S. already had around 80 vacant ambassador spots worldwide. The mass recall a year into the administration, coupled with the numerous top-level overseas posts already sitting empty, is without modern historic precedent, current and former veteran State Department officials said. A senior department official said that the recall was part of a standard process to reassess ambassadors in any administration and that it’s the president’s right to ensure he has envoys in place who advance his foreign-policy agenda."
