State Department workers expressed frustration toward President Trump and Secretary Rex Tillerson in a new survey, the results of which were obtained by The Wall Street Journal Tuesday
The results of the survey are expected to be released Wednesday. According to the Journal, workers said in the survey that they worry Trump and Tillerson don't understand the role of the State Department in foreign policy.
“People question if these two groups understand the role the Department of State plays in forwarding the interests of the United States in the world,” it reads.
In addition, the report finds that workers are increasingly nervous about the future of the agency. “People do not speak optimistically about the future,” the survey says. “The absence of a clear vision of the future allows room for speculation and rumor about what the future could bring, such as further US Agency of International Development integration into the State Department or the militarization of foreign policy.”
