                                     美國之音關門了

川普政府下令暫停資助包括美國之音、自由亞洲電台、自由歐洲電台在內的多家𠂆播公司，並通知員工禁止回到辦公室且必須上交記者証，公司已經暫時停擺。

由馬斯克領導的政府效率部宣布對這些政府支助之媒體進行資金凍結，這意味著政府將消除這些官方機構。

就美國之音而言,是幾十年來海內外華人世界非常熟悉的媒體,它代表美國政府官方向世界宣揚國策和新聞資訊，代表了美國之軟實力。

關閉了美國之音代表川普政府對外政策之重大改變,換言之，美國政府已經不把在全球之宣傳做為首要任務,更無視於對世界各地宣揚美國之各項成就和立場。

川普政府逐步走向獨善其身之國際社會,唯有在要美國再次偉大之口號下,不惜調整一切現行政策和政府結構,包括停播美國之音在內。

   The Voice Of America Has Been Closed

The Trump administration ordered a suspension of funding for many broadcasting companies, including the Voice of America, Free Asia and some Europeon radio stations, and has informed employees not to return to the office and immediately submit their press credentials to government officials and has advised them that the office has been temporarily closed.

As far as the VOA is concerned, it is a media platform that has been very familiar to the Chinese world at home and abroad for many decades. It has represented the U.S. government to promote national policies and news and information around the world. It has been called, "the soft power of America."

The closing of the VOA represents a major change in Trump’s foreign policy. In other words, the U.S. government no longer sees global propaganda as a top priority.

The Trump administration is gradually moving towards more actions on the international stage. It looks like there will be no hesitation to adjust all current policies,  including now, the stopping of all programming and the closing of the Voice of America.
