The Trump administration returned financing after filing a claim to the Society court.
The US administration returned the funding of Radio Liberty and the Open Technology Fund after the appeal of court suits. The hill reported it on Thursday, March 27.
The US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) has previously suspended the fund as part of attempts to liquid the institution. However, the Ministry of Justice said the government has restored the support, so further consideration of the claims is losing its meaning.
A lawsuit of the Open Technology Fund filed on the eve of the hearing, in which Judge Royce Lambert must resolve the issue of immediate restoration of payments. However, after the administration’s decision, the court postponed the case to the case.
The fund is engaged in the support of the internet method and the resistance to censorship. His lawyer said the group would resolve the application after the government fulfilled the obligations. The Ministry of Justice representative in court assured that the payment process had begun, even though the exact terms of transfer of funds were still unknown.
A similar situation was developed along with the RFE/RL, which filed a lawsuit after freezing the fund. Currently, USAGM has confirmed the restoration of broadcaster payments, which works in 23 countries and issues content in 27 languages.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) – Private, Independent International Information Organization, which programs – radio, internet, television and mobile communication – cover the weekly audience of nearly 50 million people in 23 countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Republic of the Caucasus and Caucasus. The US Congress is funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAGM).
The USAGM oversees several organizations focusing on the scope of the news and the resistance to censorship, the weekly scope of the audience which exceeds 420 million. Among these organizations: Voice of America, the Cuban Broadcasting Office, Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Broadcasting Networks in the Middle East, open technology and frontline media funds.
Keep in mind that US president Donald Trump has signed an order to the highest reduction in the employees’ employees and activities of some departments to fight the bureaucracy, among them the government agency for the United States in Global Media (USAGM), controlled by free Europe / Radio Liberty and Voice of America.
It was later found that the media would challenge financing in court.
