President Trump has signed an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with cutting $2 trillion in federal spending over four years through elimination of waste, fraud, and redundant programs.
Key Mandates
- Target: $2 trillion in spending cuts
- Every federal agency must identify 20% savings
- AI-powered audit of all government contracts
- Federal workforce reduction through attrition
Critics argue the cuts could devastate essential services, while supporters call it long overdue fiscal responsibility. The department will be led by a presidential appointee and report directly to the White House.
