A major foreign policy showdown is unfolding in Washington. Democratic senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are urging the U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse what they call an unprecedented recall of nearly 30 career U.S. ambassadors. The move could leave more than one hundred American embassies without a confirmed ambassador, triggering warnings of a global leadership vacuum. Lawmakers caution that adversaries like China and Russia could exploit the absence, weakening U.S. influence and endangering American interests abroad. The State Department defends the decision as standard practice, but critics argue no modern administration has taken such a sweeping step against nonpartisan diplomats.
