7th November 2025
The chief executive officer of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), Kari Lake, informed lawmakers in a letter that Washington will terminate the Hungarian-language service of Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), known as Szabad Európa.
In the letter, Lake wrote that USAGM will no longer use American taxpayer dollars to produce or distribute content to audiences of NATO allies, and will instead dedicate resources to other purposes determined by the administration.
