President Donald Trump's top diplomat Marco Rubio on Tuesday unveiled a restructuring of the US State Department that will cut positions and scale back human rights offices, saying the organization had become "bloated" and ineffective.
Rubio billed the plan as a major shake-up in the State Department, long a bete noire for many US conservatives, although the outline was less drastic than several drafts that have circulated -- including one of which would have virtually wiped out day-to-day diplomacy in Africa.
