The Trump administration is reorganizing the State Department to eliminate offices it considers redundant and cut some programs it says do not align with U.S. interests, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday.

The draft executive order would eliminate Africa operations and shut down bureaus working on democracy, human rights and refugee issues.

The Trump administration is proposing a major overhaul of the US State Department that would involve axing a war crimes office and shifting the focus of staff looking at migration and refugees. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the restructure was designed to get rid of offices that are "misaligned with America's core national interests".
