Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to reorganize what he called a “bloated” State Department, vowing Tuesday to cut programs and close offices but stopping short of a proposed executive order that outlined even more drastic changes.

The Trump administration’s proposed shake-up of the State Department targets human rights programs and others focused on war crimes and democracy.

Marco Rubio's first step toward overhauling the State Department is drawing fierce criticisms. The secretary's second step might actually be worse.
