Dismantling the Foreign Service
0 Views • Nov 30, 2017
Description
Foreign Service officers in more than 280 embassies
and consulates aid American citizens in trouble overseas, help American companies overcome unfair barriers to trade and investment, coordinate counterterrorism and narcotics programs and manage development and humanitarian aid to distressed countries.
President Trump’s draconian budget cuts for the State Department
and his dismissive attitude toward our diplomats and diplomacy itself threaten to dismantle a great foreign service just when we need it most.
The nonpartisan American Academy of Diplomacy (of which we both are members) advised Congress
that this would be “like making a former Army captain the chief of staff of the Army.”
As a result, many of our most experienced diplomats are leaving the department.
Diplomats negotiate the landing and basing arrangements for American troops overseas, such as at Central Command’s major Middle East base in Qatar.
