The article discusses the controversial decision by Trump to shut down the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees vital institutions like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. This decision has elated Russian propagandists, particularly Margarita Simonyan of RT, illustrating a significant weakening of U.S. soft power globally. Historically, these media channels have played crucial roles in countering propaganda and providing information in oppressive regimes. The closure signals a troubling shift in U.S. foreign media policy, allowing rival nations to strengthen their narratives unchallenged.
This is an awesome decision by Trump.
Today is a celebration for my colleagues at RT, Sputnik, and other outlets, because Trump unexpectedly announced that he's closing down Radio Liberty and Voice of America.
