President Trump has mandated the dismantling of the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, affecting Radio and Televisión Martí, in an effort to reduce the federal bureaucracy. His executive order not only placed full-time employees on administrative leave but has also severely decreased funding for U.S. government media outlets. The decision is seen as favorable for Cuban authorities, who have historically pushed for the closure of these broadcasting operations, which had previously operated on a budget exceeding $20 million annually.
