U.S. media: Trump plans to strengthen control over federal employees

On April 27, Jin10 reported that the Trump administration is taking steps to further tighten control over the hiring and firing of federal employees, according to The Wall Street Journal. As Tesla CEO Elon Musk steps back from the Washington political scene, the U.S. government is positioning key agencies as an important part of its ongoing effort to streamline the government system. This work focuses on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). According to agency announcements obtained by The Wall Street Journal, as a core part of Musk's government reform plan, the office has begun directly approving requests for new positions at federal agencies. This move marks a significant policy shift - previously, agencies typically made their own decisions regarding job allocations.
