Democratic senators are urging Donald Trump to retract his decision to recall nearly 30 career ambassadors, warning that the move creates a dangerous leadership void. This mass recall leaves more than 100 ambassadorial posts vacant globally as the State Department defends the action as a standard administrative process. The diplomatic vacuum follows previous workforce reductions and efforts by Marco Rubio to align the foreign service with the America First agenda.Jeanne Shaheen and Chris Murphy warned that Russia and China will likely expand their influence in strategic regions while U.S. embassies lack senior leadership. The senators argued that the lack of qualified replacements puts the country at a significant disadvantage in countering global economic competition.This latest policy shift follows the earlier dismissal of over 1,300 employees as the administration seeks to reform the bureaucracy and ensure loyalty among diplomatic staff.
