US President Donald Trump has signed an order to cut funding for the Voice of America (VOA), accusing it of being anti-Trump and radical. This decision has led to the staff being put on paid leave, raising concerns about press freedom and the future of independent journalism. The order affects VOA's parent company, US Agency for Global Media, and has resulted in the termination of federal grants for other broadcasters. Critics argue that this undermines the commitment to a free press and endangers independent journalism. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
