The Pentagon reportedly is trying to cut its private workforce at least 50,000 people
The Pentagon reportedly hopes to cut its private workforce by approximately 50,000-60,000 people, primarily through voluntary measures.
ABC News quoted: “The numbers sound high, but we’ll focus on percentages. A 5% to 8% reduction is not dramatic.
The cuts are expected to come from frozen employment, rejecting probation workers for work for less than one or two years, and receiving an offer to resign on full salary until the end of September.

The Associated Press reports that one programme shut down by the Trump administration’s cut funding for USAID in Vietnam, with cleanup efforts halted.
At a former US air force base in southern Vietnam, the removal of toxic soil contaminated by US Army agent Orange Daroviant suddenly halted, working to remove unexploded American ammunition and landmines.
It cites American Vietnam War veterans who have devoted their time to domestic humanitarian programs over the past 30 years, Chuck Sarcy said, “It doesn’t help at all. That’s another example of what I want to remind us: you can’t rely on Americans. That’s not a good message.”

Approximately 2,200 files, consisting of more than 63,000 pages on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, are available on the U.S. National Archives and the Bureau of Records websites. The Trump administration claims they were previously classified.
The Associated Press reports that the National Archives have stated that the majority of its collection of more than 6 million pages of records, photographs, films, sound recordings and artifacts related to the assassination have already been released.
The New York Times reports on the release with the headline “What do you know here?”, so far, it appears that no major revelation is included in the document.
“Trump teased the release on Monday and said there was no editing, but early reviews found some information appears to be blocked.”
The paper says that historian David J Garrow “is unable to infiltrate deeper than all previous annotated ones.” Many of the documents released seemed difficult to read.
