President Donald Trump signed an executive order to implement the Doge expenses reduction campaign. It provides that all federal agencies collaborate with the employees of the agency led by Elon Musk to review and terminate all “unnecessary” contracts.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, issued a decree on Wednesday to launch the expenses reduction campaign led by the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), the White House reported.
The decree will transform federal expenditure into contracts, grants and loans “to ensure that government expenditure is transparent and that government employees pay accounts to the US public,” according to the text.
All federal agencies must review contracts and subsidies in search of “waste, fraud and abuse”, and collaborate with Doge employees to review and terminate all “unnecessary” contracts, according to a copy of an information file provided by a White House official.
The information file says that the decree also orders the General Services Administration, which manages the Federal Government real estate portfolio, which creates a plan to “get rid of unnecessary real estate owned by the government or leased.”
The Doge has swept the federal agencies since Donald Trump began his second term as president last month, putting the billionaire Elon Musk, the CEO of the Tesla car manufacturer, in charge of an unprecedented cost reduction campaign that has included thousands of job cuts.
