Trump memo calls on US federal agencies to prepare for mass layoffs

Al Jazeera  

The US president and his allies continue their efforts to dismantle agencies long viewed with ire by conservatives. The administration of United States President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to work with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to prepare for mass firings of federal workers. Trump also teased the firings in his first cabinet meeting shortly afterwards, singling out the Environmental Protection Agency, under administrator Lee Zeldin, as one target. The memo is the latest part of an effort by Trump and Musk to dismantle government agencies and programmes that have long been disliked by conservatives — or are seen as unfriendly to Trump’s agenda. During a rally on the first day of his second term, Trump renewed that sentiment, calling to remove what he termed “Biden bureaucrats” — a reference to former President Joe Biden.
