The Trump administration has notified Congress it plans to close the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
In a letter to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R-Idaho), obtained by The Epoch Times, USAGM senior adviser Kari Lake wrote that President Donald Trump ordered in March that “the non-statutory components and functions of [the USAGM] shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”
