Voice of America requires reform, not dismantlement. The Trump administration fired nearly 600 contractors who worked for the outlet, a decision that came after the government cut federal funding for its parent company, the U.S. Agency for Global Media. Despite VOA’s shortcomings, President Donald Trump should make VOA great again. Both Trump and former Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake, whom Trump appointed to lead the USAGM, have had VOA in their crosshairs.
