President Donald Trump Live | Trump signed Order to dismantle Voice of America | #trump #voa

President Donald Trump has signed an order to cut funding for Voice of America (VOA), calling it "anti-Trump" and "radical." The move impacts VOA’s parent agency, USAGM, which also funds Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia. The order tells managers to reduce operations to the legal minimum, leading to furloughs for nearly all VOA staff and termination of federal grants for affiliated outlets. Critics, including the National Press Club, warn this undermines press freedom, silencing an institution that has fought propaganda since World War Two.

For more than 80 years, Voice of America transmitted news into countries where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts are flickering out. Hours after President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the agency overseeing VOA, hundreds of journalists were locked out, their emails cut off. Some broadcasts went dark, while others played only music. The administration calls VOA biased, but critics say this silences a key voice for democracy. As legal challenges mount, a question lingers—has the U.S. pulled the plug on press freedom??
