U.S. President Donald Trump announced the appointment of Kari Lake, a prominent supporter and former television anchor, as the new head of Voice of America (VOA). Lake, known for her denial of the 2020 presidential election results, is expected to ensure that U.S. values are broadcasted worldwide. Her appointment comes amid concerns about political interference in public media and follows failed attempts to secure political office herself. VOA serves as a publicly funded platform delivering news in various languages to an international audience.
