The Trump administration plans to significantly narrow the workforce of the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies with the goal of cutting thousands of employees in a few years.

The government’s cost-cutting approach to the CIA and other intelligence agencies shows that in the United States, international development agencies such as the United States International Development Agency, essentially dismantle their calibration efforts compared to other federal departments’ strategies.

Members of lawmakers were told that layoffs would reduce the CIA by about 1,000 to 1,200 employees, sources said. The agency did not disclose the size of its workforce, but leaked documents in 2013 showed the agency had more than 21,000 employees.

The Washington Post first reported on planned staff cuts.

The CIA declined to comment on details of the plan to reduce the agency's workforce. It is unclear how the cuts will affect different sectors.

A CIA spokesman said in an email that the agency's director John Ratcliffe is taking quick action to ensure that the CIA's workforce responds to the government's national security priorities. ”

The spokesman added: “These moves are part of an overall strategy to inject new energy into the agency, provide opportunities for leaders to emerge and better bring the CIA to its mission.”

According to the Pentagon’s target, other intelligence agencies differ from the Department of Defense’s budget, which is part of the Department of Defense’s budget, which aims to cut the Pentagon’s target, which is to reduce the civilian workforce by 8%, and to know one source of the matter and a former intelligence official.

Cuts by the CIA and other spy agencies will be achieved by scaling up hiring, early retirement and so-called “buyout” options for those ready to accept a one-time offer to quit. But there are no plans to shoot at a large scale, the source said.

The planned cuts took place during a period of increasing security threats, and with the rise of China's military power, Russia launched a sabotage campaign in Europe while launching a war in Ukraine, and Iran urged its nuclear program.

During a cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday, NIA Director Tulsi Gabbard said her office was “25% smaller today than when I walked into the door”. Gabbard did not specify it in detail.

Gabbard said at a Senate confirmation hearing in January that she supported the reduction of the NIS Director’s office, which oversees the country’s spy agencies.

ODNI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Cuts came when the Trump administration and Elon Musk's government efficiency advisory department tried to cut the federal labor force dramatically.

While the government plans to avoid mass shooting, it attempts to fire dozens of employees from the CIA and ODNI because they have been assigned temporary jobs to work on a diversified program. A group of employees challenged their firing in court, and a federal judge in March issued a temporary injunction to stop firing.

The CIA also offered acquisitions to its workforce in February.
