Trump orders federal agencies to plan large-scale layoffs by March 13 to reduce workforce.

The Trump administration has issued a memo instructing federal agencies to develop plans for eliminating employee positions by March 13, potentially leading to large-scale layoffs and the elimination of positions across the federal workforce. This move aims to streamline government operations and reduce costs, with some agencies already initiating the process. Positions in law enforcement, national security, and public safety are exempt. The directive is part of Trump's plan to downsize the federal workforce, described as "bloated," and is supported by tech billionaire Elon Musk, who heads the newly established Department of Government Efficiency.
