"The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) rejects the decision by the White House to order deep cuts at Voice of America (VOA), Radio Martí, and other media outlets managed by the United States government.
President Donald Trump, through an executive order issued Friday night [March 14], ordered the drastic reduction of staff at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) and the elimination of funding for media that have been a fundamental pillar in the dissemination of news and information to audiences in countries with authoritarian regimes for over 80 years.
USAGM includes Voice of America; Radio Free Europe, targeting Central and Eastern Europe; Radio Free Asia, focusing on East Asia; and Martí Noticias, which broadcasts news in Spanish to Cuba."
