Senior embassy officials were asked to provide comprehensive lists of all employees and their employment status as part of the process.

Embassies will be required to cut both American staff and employees hired from the location in which the embassy is based.

The State Department communication went out shortly before President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday afternoon that compelled State Department staff to comply with his administration's foreign policy goals.
