Hell, they haven't had fully staffed embassies since Trump took over. They're even missing a number of important ambassadors.The State Department on Thursday ordered employees and U.S. diplomats abroad to return to work, saying it would make additional funds available to pay most employee salaries for two weeks.
[...]
[Deputy Under Secretary for Management Bill] Todd said that employees would be paid for work performed during the two-week pay period starting Sunday, Jan. 20, including domestic workers and those at U.S. diplomatic posts overseas. He said employees would be paid for their work on time on Feb. 14, and that the department would thereafter “review balances and available legal authorities to try to cover future pay periods.”

"As a national security agency, it is imperative that the Department of State carries out its mission. We are best positioned to do so with fully staffed embassies, consulates, and domestic offices," [...] Todd said in a statement.
