Trump pushes for civil service reform to bring more federal civil servants under presidential jurisdiction

Mars Finance News, according to Jinshi Report, US President Trump stated on Friday that he is pushing for a massive reform of the civil service system, issuing new regulations to convert thousands of positions previously held by career federal employees into political positions. These changes further reinforce an executive order Trump signed on his first day in office, which claimed he has broad powers to hire and fire senior civil servants. Trump wrote on his social media: "Going forward, career government employees working on policy matters will be classified as 'policy/career' and will be subject to the highest standards of conduct and performance. If these government employees refuse to advance the president's policy interests or engage in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job." Trump said. "We must root out corruption and implement accountability in the federal workforce!" Trump's assistants stated that this measure is crucial for implementing the policy agenda they believe was undermined by career federal employees during the president's first term.
