Trump's next agency cuts include US-backed global media, library and museum grants

The article from MSN discusses potential budget cuts proposed by former President Donald Trump targeting several U.S. federal agencies and programs. Among the proposed reductions are significant cuts to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees networks like Voice of America, aiming to reduce its budget by 20%. Additionally, Trump's plan includes slashing funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which supports libraries, museums, and related educational programs across the U.S. These cuts are part of a broader strategy to reduce federal spending, with Trump arguing that such programs are either unnecessary or could be better managed by private entities or state and local governments. Critics argue that these reductions could undermine America's cultural and informational outreach, as well as diminish educational and community resources at a local level.
