The bloc will discuss saving the state-funded media outlet hit by Donald Trump\u2019s spending cuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EU will discuss ways to help the US state-funded Radio Free Europe\/Radio Liberty (RFE\/RL) stay afloat after President Donald Trump slashed its budget, the bloc\u2019s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has said.<\/p>\n

RFE\/RL was founded during the Cold War to spread pro-Western propaganda in the Soviet Bloc. The organization was initially funded by the CIA and continues to receive grants from US Congress.<\/p>\n

A reporter asked Kallas following the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels on Monday whether the EU would offer \u201ctemporary protection\u201d<\/em> to Russian journalists who had their contracts terminated. She argued that RFE\/RL\u2019s broadcasts during the Cold War were \u201cvery valuable.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad to hear that the US is withdrawing the funding. Now the question for us is, can we come in with our funding to fill the void?\u201d<\/em> Kallas said. \u201cThe answer to that question is\u2026 not automatically because we have a lot of organizations that are coming with the same request.\u201d<\/em>
<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut there was really a push from the foreign ministers to discuss this and find a way. So this is the [task of] our side to see what we can do,\u201d<\/em> she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The European Commission and officials from EU member states have condemned Trump\u2019s decision to gut the news agency. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky wrote on X last week that he would discuss the possibility to \u201cat least partially maintain its broadcasts.\u201d<\/em> Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Monday that the EU was \u201cbrainstorming\u201d<\/em> how to help RFE, according to The Kyiv Independent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why has Trump finally pulled the plug on deep state propaganda?<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On March 14, Trump signed an executive order mandating funding and staff cuts at the United States Agency for Global Media, which oversees RFE\/RL and other state-funded news organizations, including the Voice of America. The White House said that the move is part of a wider campaign to rid the government of \u201cunnecessary\u201d<\/em> bureaucracy. Trump has frequently accused media outlets of bias and spreading \u201cfake news\u201d<\/em> about him and his policies.<\/p>\n

FRE\/RL President and CEO Stephen Capus has described the cuts as \u201ca massive gift to America\u2019s enemies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In a call with journalists on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov labelled RFE\/RL and the Voice of America \u201cpurely propagandistic media\u201d<\/em> and said that the cuts were the domestic affair of the US.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
