Senior Adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Kari Lake announced Monday on Newsmax that Voice of America (VOA) and other U.S. government-funded international broadcasters will be reduced to their statutory minimum under an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump.

“It hasn’t been right; it hasn’t been doing its core mission, which is to spread the American story very well,” Lake said. She referenced a recent VOA broadcast, saying, “I happen to tune in not too long ago to see a graphic that showed President Trump with a swastika over his mouth.
