Trump Targets U.S. Spy Agencies for Massive Job Cuts

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to significantly downsize the U.S. intelligence community, including a reduction of 1,200 positions at the CIA and thousands more across other agencies. These cuts are expected to be implemented gradually over several years, primarily through reduced hiring rather than direct layoffs. The move signals a major shift in how the administration views the size and scope of U.S. intelligence operations. Critics warn that such reductions could impact national security, while supporters argue it will streamline government and reduce costs. The plan reflects President Trump's ongoing skepticism toward the intelligence community.
