Trump cancels funding of Public Broadcasters NPR, PBS | Orders probe by Federal agencies

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to defund NPR and PBS, directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut federal funding to public media. The move could devastate local stations, especially in rural communities, and marks a major escalation in the administration’s ongoing battle with public broadcasters.
