The Trump administration has fired or placed on leave hundreds of staff and contractors at Voice of America (VOA), the U.S.-funded international broadcaster.
This move is part of a broader effort to dismantle the US Agency for Global Media, despite a court order requiring the government to maintain operations. The administration has also taken steps to elevate partisan voices in the White House press corps and has filed lawsuits against media organizations critical of Trump. The mass firings have raised concerns about press freedom and the future of independent journalism funded by the U.S. government.
Critics argue these actions are part of a wider campaign to suppress dissenting media voices.
