US President Donald Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media page, has called for the termination of state broadcaster Voice of America (VOA), which he says is the “mouthpiece of the Democrats”.
“Why would a Republican want the Democrats’ ‘mouthpiece,’ the Voice of America (VOA), to continue to exist? It’s a complete, leftist disaster – no Republican should vote for its survival. KILL HIM!“,” Trump wrote.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has reportedly sent out layoff notices to more than 600 employees of Voice of America, The New York Times reported.
The layoffs will reduce the news organization’s workforce to fewer than 200 people, about one-seventh of its workforce at the beginning of 2025.
