The American Security Project published on 21 March 2025 a commentary titled "The United States Is Deliberately Sabotaging Its Image Abroad by Gutting USAGM" by Matthew Wallin.
The services under the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) such as the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, and Radio Free Europe reach more than 400 million people worldwide. The Trump administration decision to gut USAGM will only cede the information space to Russia, China, and Iran.
