Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday announced changes to the State Department’s Foreign Service program, which includes targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. 

“The State Department has undertaken efforts to bolster Foreign Service recruitment efforts and refine the selection process to ensure that our diplomatic mission is prepared to deliver America’s answer to the most pressing of challenges, from the reorientation of supply chains to mass migration and beyond,” Rubio wrote in an extended post on Substack, touting an overhaul designed to check bureaucratic encroachment.
