NBC: The U.S. may close several consulates as part of cost-cutting measures.

According to sources from the publication, the discussion involves consulates in Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Pacific Islands. The majority of the consulates in Europe that may be subject to cuts are located in Germany and France.

Sources indicated that Trump reviewed the list of consulates, but a final decision has not yet been made. The timeline for potential closures has also not been established. The State Department has requested information from the consulates regarding their overall activities: the agency is evaluating them, including assessing their "diplomatic necessity."
