This move likely aims to assert control and clarify lines of authority within the administration. In the US Cabinet, each department has a secretary who oversees all department activity and reports directly to the President.¹ The Cabinet's role is to advise the President on various matters related to their respective offices, covering areas like education, health, defense, and more[3). Some of the key departments include: - *Department of State*: Handles international relations and national foreign policy. - *Department of Defense*: Oversees national security and the US Armed Forces. - *Department of Justice*: Responsible for law enforcement and legal matters. - *Department of Education*: Focuses on education policy and initiatives. By reaffirming the agency heads' authority, Trump is emphasizing the importance of internal leadership and decision-making within the administration.
