The Trump administration is proposing a major overhaul of the U.S. State Department that would eliminate more than 100 offices including some working on war crimes and rights advocacy to ensure the agency is in line with President Donald Trump's "America First" priorities.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed a major overhaul of the U.S. State Department that would shutter more than 100 offices, part of President Donald Trump's push to shrink the federal government and align policymaking with his "America First" priorities.

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".
