Tibor Nagy, the undersecretary for management at the State Department, has stepped down from his position after less than three months on the job.

Nagy quit on Friday after being appointed to the role by President Donald Trump in late January.

However, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone who had the inside scoop on the situation.

Nagy served in the first Trump administration and came out of retirement to take his current position.

Officials said he was returning to retirement and that doing so had always been the plan.

In a statement, a State Department spokesperson said:

“Ambassador Nagy was honored to come out of retirement to help stand-up the second Trump administration, and it was always his plan to perform the duties of the Under Secretary for Management until more State Department leaders were confirmed.”

Nagy helped oversee actions by Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in gutting the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

He also oversaw the implementation of other major changes at the State Department.

In a statement, Nagy said:

“We have long needed to examine the fundamentals of how we conduct foreign policy.”

He also said more changes were needed to transform the department into one more “suited for the 21st century.”

“While these changes can be unsettling, please continue to be receptive and supportive of these efforts,” he wrote in an email to the workforce.

Assistant Secretary of Administration José Cunningham will succeed Nagy, the email said.

The department has been embattled because of the changes to how foreign policy is conducted with the elimination of USAID.

Critics of the changes warn that eliminating so much foreign aid so quickly could make the U.S. more isolated.

However, some reports said that many of the aid programs were based on DEI and other principles antithetical to the values of the countries receiving aid.

Around 83% of the aid previously administered through USAID was cut.

The rest of USAID’s operations were absorbed into the State Department, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

DOGE has been trying to cut $1 trillion from the U.S. annual budget.

The Elon Musk-led team is tasked with eliminating deficit spending and getting a handle on the nation’s $36 trillion in debt.

The White House reported this week that Musk, who has been spearheading DOGE, can only serve in that capacity for 130 days because he is not an official government employee.

As an advisor, Musk has been hard at work looking for fraud and waste wherever it can be found so that taxpayers are not being taken to the cleaners for nothing.
