President-elect Donald Trump plans to reorganize the State Department by immediately appointing new officials to senior positions.

A person familiar with the matter told Fox News that the new Trump administration will immediately appoint new officials to key operational positions at the State Department to ensure that the State Department implements Trump’s foreign policy agenda from day one.

Typically, career State Department officials would oversee these key positions while political appointees await Senate confirmation. The Trump team is bringing in dozens of "senior bureau officials" to ensure career employees have officials aligned with Trump. Sources said the transition has already identified the senior bureau official who will take over.

Sources also said the move affects more than 20 other key State Department positions. Reuters reported last week that Trump officials had asked others to resign, with a total of about 30 senior positions affected by the move. They include all those who serve as deputy ministers and oversee key regional, policy and communications bureaus.

When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the transition team told Fox News, "It is entirely appropriate for the transition team to seek officials who share President Trump's vision of putting our country and American workers first." A. We have a lot of failures to address and it takes a committed team focused on the same goal.

Trump's transition team recently asked three senior career diplomats to resign, Reuters reported.

Career diplomats Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat and Alaina Teplitz, who were reportedly asked to leave their posts, oversaw State Council Workforce and internal coordination.

Reuters noted that all three career diplomats named in the report have served in both Democratic and Republican administrations. Unlike political appointees, diplomats typically do not resign when a president leaves office.

Trump has pursued the “deep state” throughout his political career, a move that could be seen as part of his efforts to fundamentally change government at the bureaucratic level.

Trump has never hidden his disdain for the government agency responsible for foreign relations, dubbing it the "deep State Department" during his first term, reflecting his belief that career diplomats are working to subvert his agenda.

Trump is likely to work with his secretary of state nominee Marco Rubio, who said during his confirmation hearing that state employees needed to work for Trump's "America First" agenda and pledged to make the agency "once again" play a role”.

"What has happened over the past 20 years under multiple administrations is that the State Department's influence has declined and the interests of other agencies and the National Security Council have been compromised because it has taken the State Department a long time to act," Rubio said.

"So more and more, you're no longer invited to meetings and they're no longer holding you accountable for things because it takes so long to get results."

In the modern federal bureaucracy, he said, "the core mission of the department has not been clearly defined" and "we have an obligation to define that."

"We want the State Department to be relevant again, and it should be because the State Department has a lot of talented people who are subject matter experts and diplomatic skills. But it's underutilized because more and more people are on issue after issue, we're Seeing that the State Department has been sidelined because of internal inertia, because of the way its structure works, we have to be at that table when decisions are made, and the State Department has to be a source of creative ideas and effective implementation," he added.

Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told reporters he is seeking to root out those who directed the so-called "woke" funding program at the State Department.

"If someone is maliciously providing funding to support a radical agenda, like doing drag shows abroad, and trying to find this vague connection rather than tying things to U.S. national security interests, then they should be aware that we will be looking for them , we will seek to establish authority to ensure that they do not continue to exist at the State Department."
