U.S. President Donald Trump has told his cabinet members they have the final say on staffing and policy decisions within their agencies, reinforcing his push for streamlined governance. Meanwhile, in a major cost-cutting move, Elon Musk-led DOGE has laid off over 100,000 employees within weeks.

The drastic job cuts signal a significant restructuring effort, though details on the impact remain unclear. Trump’s directive gives agency heads greater autonomy as his administration seeks efficiency and budget reductions.
