Small embassies to be shut down

Trump Administration to Close 5 US Embassies and Consulates

President Trump’s administration is preparing to close several smaller U.S. embassies and diplomatic offices around the world in a major State Department shake-up.

The move could save taxpayers millions while significantly reshaping America’s overseas presence. Five Locations Targeted.

The State Department informed Congress that it intends to close five diplomatic locations. The list includes the U.S. Embassy in St. George’s, Grenada. American consulates in Nagoya, Japan, and Medan, Indonesia, are also expected to close. The administration also plans to shut down the American Presence Post in Winnipeg, Canada. An embassy branch office in Douala, Cameroon, is included in the plan as well.

The department announced earlier this year that it would permanently close the U.S. consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan.
