Foreign media: The U.S. Department of Efficiency has been dissolved.

Reference News Network, November 24 report: According to a report by the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" website citing Reuters on November 23, the Department of Government Efficiency, which was vigorously established by US President Trump after he took office in January to cut down the government scale, has already been dissolved, despite having eight months left in its term.

According to the report, when asked about the current status of the Department of Government Efficiency, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Cooper, said: "It doesn't exist at all."

Cooper added that the Department of Government Efficiency is no longer a "centralized institution."

The report said this is the first time the Trump administration has confirmed that the Department of Government Efficiency has been dissolved. After its establishment in January, the agency carried out sweeping reforms in Washington, quickly reducing the size of federal agencies, cutting their budgets, or shifting their focus to Trump's priorities.

According to an executive order signed by Trump after taking office, the Department of Government Efficiency should have operated until July 2026.

However, according to documents reviewed by Cooper and Reuters, the Human Resources department of the federal government, the Office of Personnel Management, has taken over many functions of the Department of Government Efficiency. Some staff members of the Department of Government Efficiency have also joined other departments.

The demise of the Department of Government Efficiency contrasts sharply with the efforts made throughout the months to enhance its visibility, as Trump, his advisors, and cabinet ministers all posted content related to it on social media. The billionaire who initially led the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk, often promoted his work on his social media platform X, even once waving a chainsaw to publicize his measures to cut government positions.

The Department of Government Efficiency claimed to have cut hundreds of billions of dollars in spending, but due to the lack of detailed financial statements published by the agency, external financial experts could not verify this claim. Critics say the department has brought about almost no measurable savings.
