EU to Give Radio Free Europe 5.5 Million Euros After Trump Funding Freeze
- The European Union agreed on Tuesday in Brussels to provide 5.5 million euros to support Radio Free Europe after the Trump administration froze U.S. Funding.
- This funding follows a March order by Trump to terminate grants as part of efforts to reduce government size, prompting legal challenges and a temporary court pause.
- The EU's top diplomat for foreign affairs characterized the financial assistance as a temporary measure designed to support independent journalism in Russia, Belarus, and Iran by acting as a protective buffer.
- Kallas underscored the critical role of independent journalism in today's environment, while Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky stressed the importance of continuing to deliver free and impartial information to populations living under authoritarian regimes.
- The EU’s support aims to keep Radio Free Europe operating amid U.S. Aid cuts, though Kallas noted the bloc cannot fill the total global funding gap alone.
