The General Services Administration (GSA) sent a memo to regional managers instructing them to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal leases the agency manages nationwide, according to an Associated Press report.

The news of the memo comes amid the Trump administration’s return-to-office mandate, which would seem to suggest that office space would be needed. On the other hand, the report speculated that this may reflect the administration’s belief that it won’t need as many offices as it moves to cut federal jobs.
