U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (February 4) he would like to be able to close the federal Department of Education using an executive order.

"We spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, and we're ranked at the bottom of the list. We're ranked very badly. And what I want to do is let the states run schools," Trump said in comments to reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump said he thought he would work with Congress and the teachers union to bring about the changes.

A White House official said on Monday (February 3) that the Trump administration will take steps to defund the department and an announcement on the planned actions may come later in February.

Such defunding could be part of an effort by Trump's newly created Department of Government Efficiency, chaired by billionaire Elon Musk, to identify fraud and wasteful government spending.
