Trump Moves to Axe 7 Federal Agencies, Including Key Library and Media Funds

President Trump signed an executive order Friday to dismantle seven federal agencies, including the one overseeing Voice of America (VOA) and other government-funded media outlets. The order demands that agency heads eliminate all non-mandatory functions and scale back required ones to the legal minimum.
Donald Trump has proposed the elimination of seven federal agencies as part of his plan to reduce government spending and bureaucracy if he wins the 2024 presidential election. The agencies targeted for closure include the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Legal Services Corporation, the African Development Foundation, and the Inter-American Foundation.
