The Czech Republic initiated talks with EU partners about funding Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which is headquartered in the Czech capital, following cuts to US support.

Summary

Seven EU countries support a Czech proposal for the bloc to fund Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) after the U.S. cut its financial support.

The move follows Trump’s March 14 executive order directing U.S. agencies to reduce operations, leading to RFE/RL employees being placed on leave.

Germany and several Nordic and Baltic nations back the plan, calling RFE/RL vital for information in regions lacking democratic freedoms.

    The US cut funding, so there will be no offices or personnel in the US to influence anything.
