📢 The American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) reported this weekend that the Trump administration asked several career ambassadors, appointed during the Biden era, to vacate their posts by mid-January 2026—no reasons given. 😳
Why it matters: these diplomats bring years of experience and have sworn to defend the Constitution. Booting them for political reasons could hurt U.S. credibility abroad and shake confidence across the Foreign Service. 🌐
AFSA is calling on leaders from both parties to protect a professional, nonpolitical diplomatic corps and resist turning ambassadors into political assets.✊
For young pros eyeing global careers or following international politics, this shake-up raises big questions about job security and the future of American diplomacy. Stay tuned as 2026 begins! 🚀
