U.S. Shrinks Diplomatic Footprint | San Francisco News
Description
The U.S. is quietly shuttering five tiny diplomatic posts in Grenada, Japan, Indonesia, Canada, and Cameroon—each with just one or two staff—to save $4.4 million a year, while simultaneously pouring resources into reopening embassies in Venezuela, Syria, and Libya amid shifting political landscapes. This strategic realignment reflects tough choices about where to focus limited diplomatic dollars, especially after recent closures like the Peshawar consulate near Afghanistan. It’s a bold pivot: trimming the fringes to reinvest in high-stakes re-engagement.
