The U.S. diplomatic presence around the world is at an unprecedented low under President Donald Trump.
A new report from The Wall Street Journal points to an astonishing staffing crisis with 100 ambassadorial roles vacant at the time of writing.
There are 115 ambassador posts out of 195 currently empty, while 37 of the U.S.’s 51 African embassies are currently operating without an ambassador, and there is no top diplomat in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or Iraq.
