‘Done’, all the staff of the Voice of America puts leave after Trump’s order | News Donald Trump
Journalists without borders have strayed the decision, saying that “threatens the freedom of the press in the world.
Almost all employees of the Voice of America (VOA) were on leave after the President of the United States Donald Trump signed an executive order that won the Government’s news agency.
On Friday night, Trump ordered his administration to reduce several agencies to a minimum that requires a law under the order entitled “Continuing the reduction of federal bureaucracy”.
The decision has influenced the US Global Media Agency (USAGM), the History Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and Asia, and Radio Marti, which airs news in Spanish in Cuba.
Journalists of the Printing Printing Group have decided to decide, saying that “threatens the freedom of the press in the world and denies 80 years of American history in the support of free information flow.”
The decision to stifle the government, the predominant news agency comes because the Republicans publicly funded the media that they were biased towards conservatives.
In a statement, the White House said that Trump’s executive commands “will ensure that taxpayers are no longer on a hook of radical propaganda” before listing the VOA criticism, including allegations of left-wing bias.
On Saturday morning, Kari Lake, a US Senate candidate who has been appointed by Trump with a high agency advisor, wrote on X that employees should check their E -hits.

In America’s voice director Michael Abramowitz wrote in Post Linkedin that “almost” the entire staff of 1,300 journalists, producers and assistants put on administrative leave, including himself.
“I am deeply sad that for the first time in 83 years, the American voice has been forced,” Abramowitz said.
“Voa promotes freedom and democracy around the world, telling an American story and providing objective and balanced news and information, especially for those who live under the Tirana,” Abramowitz said.
Voa, which was founded in 1942 to counteract Nazi propaganda, reaches 360 million people a week and acts in almost 50 languages.
Notifications of termination were sent to Radio Slobodna Europe/Radio Liberty, whose president and CEO Stephen Capus said in a statement that the decision would be a “huge gift to US enemies”.
“We have benefited from strong two -party support throughout the history of RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty). Without us, almost 50 million people in closed societies who depend on us every week for accurate news and information will not have access to the truth about America and the world, “Capus said on Saturday.
The command of government agencies also included the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scientists, the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the US Council of Homelessness.
