U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order cutting funding to Voice of America’s parent agency, forcing staff out.
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at significantly reducing the operations of the parent agency overseeing Voice of America (VOA) and six other federal entities. The move is part of his administration’s broader effort to shrink bureaucracy.

Trump, who frequently clashed with VOA during his first term, has appointed former news anchor Kari Lake as its new director. A close ally of the president, Lake has repeatedly accused mainstream media of anti-Trump bias.
