Freezing federal government hiring On Mr Trump'
Post# of 51155
On Mr Trump's first full workday in the White House he issued a directive to federal agencies to halt any new government hiring.
He told reporters who had gathered for the signing that the freeze would not affect military spending.
The directive is part of Mr Trump's effort to reduce government debts and decrease the size of the federal workforce.
During his campaign, he frequently railed against government bureaucracy, and vowed to "drain the swamp" of corrupt governance.
