Top Stories - U.S. Has Special Forces in 149 Countries and Ambassadors in 144 - AllGov - News: Under Trump, the U.S. State Dept. has been gutted – with the departure of many high-level career diplomats and a proposed budget drop of 29%. Without diplomats to guide our military, we are left with an accelerating vicious cycle – the more “bad guys” we kill abroad, the more we have to kill.
