Trump directed his administration to reduce the functions of several agencies to the minimum required by law
The Trump administration initiated deep cuts to Voice of America and other US-funded media organizations, including Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Marti, by directing agencies to reduce functions to the minimum required by law. This action places Voice of America staff on paid administrative leave and potentially violates congressional mandates for the Agency for Global Media, which houses these outlets. The order also affects other government agencies like the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.
