Trump promotes civil service reform, bringing more federal employees under presidential jurisdiction

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on Friday that he is pushing for a massive reform of the civil service system, issuing new regulations that will convert thousands of positions previously held by career federal employees into political positions. These changes further reinforce an executive order signed on Trump's first day in office, which claims he has broad authority to hire and fire senior civil servants.

Trump stated on his social media: "From now on, career government employees engaged in policy matters will be classified as 'policy/career' and will adhere to the highest standards of conduct and performance. If these government workers refuse to advance the president's policy interests or engage in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job."

"We must root out corruption and implement accountability in the federal workforce!" Trump's aides indicated that this measure is crucial for implementing what they believe to be a policy agenda undermined by career federal employees during the president's first term.
