President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that calls on federal agencies to work with the U.S. DOGE Service in a bid to cut their existing workforce and limit future hiring. Ahead of the signing, Trump was joined in the Oval Office by Elon Musk, his billionaire ally who is overseeing DOGE, an agency that Trump has empowered to find government efficiencies.
