Trump guts Voice of America, museum, homelessness agencies
President Trump has signed an executive order to significantly reduce the operations of several US government-funded agencies, including the US Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America. The order aims to streamline these agencies to their legally mandated minimum, reflecting the administration's ongoing efforts to shrink the federal bureaucracy.
Besides the Agency for Global Media, the order targets agencies like the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the US Interagency Council on Homelessness. Trump previously clashed with Voice of America and had selected Kari Lake, a staunch ally known for accusing mainstream media of anti-Trump bias, to be its director for his second term. The move signals a potential shift in the direction and focus of these government-funded entities.
