State Department Bureaucracy and Foreign Policy Control
The dismissal of the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine has sparked a debate over whether the President or the State Department bureaucracy determines foreign policy.

Conversely, members of the intelligence community and State Department have expressed concern that Trump is subverting established diplomatic norms.
