Senate Democrats claim that efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle federal agencies and lay off government workers could burden taxpayers with expenses exceeding $19 billion. Their investigative document, signed by all Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, represents a thorough effort by lawmakers to gauge the financial impact of President Donald Trump’s push to realign the country’s diplomatic focus according to his ‘America First’ foreign policy.
