Trump Administration Accidentally Lays Off Hundreds of Nuclear Weapons Specialists

The Trump administration accidentally dismissed over 300 employees from the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), responsible for overseeing the nuclear arsenal. Currently, efforts are underway to rehire these specialists, reports NewsBox.

Due to mass layoffs initiated by the Trump administration, the National Nuclear Security Administration lost more than 300 staff members, including those with access to classified information. According to CNN, the reason for the layoffs might have been officials' lack of understanding of the agency's functions.

Among those dismissed were experts who worked at nuclear facilities and were involved in weapons inspections. The U.S. authorities are now taking urgent measures to bring back these specialists, whose absence could impact national security.
