A leaked draft of an executive order reveals the Trump administration may soon impose a MAGA loyalty test at the State Department.

The new foreign service exam will require “alignment with the president’s foreign policy vision” if staff want to keep their jobs or be hired, the draft said, according to Bloomberg.

Bloomberg reports the order will be “one of the biggest reorganizations of the department since its founding in 1789” should President Donald Trump sign it into effect.

The 16-page draft, which has circulated among American diplomats in recent days, also calls for the elimination of the Bureau of African and the closure of “unnecessary” embassies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
