On Thursday, the Trump administration reversed its prior decision by restoring funding for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), following a federal judge's ruling against its termination. This news organization, which has been historically significant for disseminating information during the Cold War, had its funding initially halted by the administration citing an executive order to eliminate its parent agency. The restoration also saw the return of 33 employees at the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, emphasizing the administration's ongoing tension with Cuba’s government. However, there remains an implied possibility for future funding termination depending on the administration's discretion.
The Trump administration on Thursday restored funding for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a federally financed news organization born out of American efforts to counter Soviet propaganda during the Cold War.
The decision to again support the news group, known as RFE/RL, came two days after a federal judge in Washington temporarily blocked President Trump's push to close it down.
