President Donald Trump has initiated plans for widespread layoffs across federal agencies, known as reductions in force, following an executive order signed last month. This directive requires all federal agencies to prepare for large-scale layoffs amid ongoing economic uncertainty. The Department of Veterans Affairs, which employs workers nationwide, is expected to be significantly impacted, potentially affecting hospitals and clinics across the country. Reports indicate that the layoffs will also target the Social Security Administration and other federal agencies, as part of Trump's broader strategy to downsize the federal government.
