New figures have laid bare the shocking extent of brain drain in the U.S. diplomatic service during President Donald Trump’s second stint in the White House.
The Trump administration has either laid off or forced into retirement around 2,000 career diplomats since the president’s second inauguration last year, NBC News reported Sunday, citing the latest stats from the American Foreign Service Association.
The numbers—representing decades of combined experience in vital areas like international negotiation and crisis response—do not include more than 2,000 staff who lost their jobs when the Trump administration shut down the United States Agency for International Development last year.
