Trump has ordered a wide‑ranging review of federal agencies
President Trump has ordered a wide‑ranging review of federal agencies that could lead to deep cuts in the government workforce, sharpening the economic debate heading into the next budget cycle.
The White House budget office says the administration wants to shrink several agencies and move thousands of jobs into new structures, partly to pay for added defense and border spending. Labor leaders and some lawmakers warn that trimming staff could slow services like tax processing, infrastructure permits and safety inspections.
