Trump to eliminate 1,200 CIA positions
within larger plan to shrink spy workforce
03 May 2025
The Trump administration reportedly
plans to reduce the workforce at the
CIA by about 1,200 people in the
coming years, part of a larger set
of cuts to the nation’s intelligence
services.
The reductions at the CIA will
reportedly be made through a
combination of existing employees
seeking retirement and reduced future
hiring, insiders told The Washington
Post, avoiding firings.
The agency doesn’t disclose its exact
workforce, but such cuts are thought
to represent about 5 percent of its
total personnel.
Thousands more cuts are expected
across the National Security Agency,
Defense Intelligence Agency, National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and
other U.S. spy outfits, according to
the paper. >https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-cia-jo >b-cuts-nsa-b2744123.html
Intelligence of any kind contravenes Trump's core ideology.
He will increase spending by 15% but must eliminate intelligence gathering
so his personal narrative will always prevail unopposed by facts.
