In a move that has raised significant concern among media advocates and federal employees, President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at dismantling seven federal agencies, including the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and related programs. As a result of the order, staff members at these agencies, including Radio and TV Martí, have been placed on administrative leave. Critics, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, have condemned the actions as an attack on public media and urged Congress to intervene. This development has led to operational disruptions, with Voice of America effectively ceasing some of its activities amid ongoing staff suspensions and contract terminations with major news organizations.
