This restructuring of the State Department will close a number of overseas missions, reduce staff and minimise offices dedicated to promoting liberal values in a stated goal to subsume them to regional bureaus.
Rubio added, &ldquo;This approach will empower the Department from the ground up, from the bureaus to the embassies."

The State Department will also eliminate the office of the director of the Foreign Service Institute, which provides language training and other educational support for career foreign service officers.
This comes after Trump ordered a revamp to the US Foreign Service, the country's diplomatic corps, to ensure it followed his foreign policy agenda.&nbsp;
