All the votes of the Voice of America after the reductions this week is expected to receive dismissal notifications, Politico writes with reference to four sources. In early May, the Donald Trump administration reduced almost 600 people in the Voice of America. The dismissal expected this week will affect the 800 remaining employees, clarifies Politico. According to one of the interlocutors of the publication, notifications of dismissal, which will affect all the remaining, mean the actual closure of broadcasting. The US agency for global media (it includes Voice of America) and did not respond to the commentary in the White House to a request from reporters. In March, Voice of America suspended the work after US President Donald Trump ordered large -scale abbreviations of employees in seven federal agencies, including the global media agency (USAGM). The White House accused the Voice of America of spreading “radical propaganda.” Immediately after this, the officers of the Voice of America, according to them, have already begun to receive notifications of dismissal. The Voice of America filed a lawsuit, calling the closure of the agency illegal, but the court said that he would not intervene in the actions of the Trump administration. In mid-May, Bloomberg said that the Trump administration plans to sell the building in Washington, where the headquarters of the Voice of America is located. (Tagstotranslate) News
