US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally-funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical".

A White House statement said the order would "ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda", and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media railing against the "leftist", "partisan" VOA.

"Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminium could see billions of dollars’ worth of Canadian metals being redirected and dumped on Europe. Could this spark a second transatlantic trade war?"

I'm trying hard not to accuse America per se but recognise that this is Trump and his administration being driven by Kremlin interference and direct involvement.

I cannot see the American people putting up with this nightmare but I fear it's not hitting home as it should.

Ukraine is just a part of a bigger picture where Russia is actively interfering with Western politics, business, governments, elections and referendums with the aim of bringing down the West.

With the traditional USA out of the game Russia will move on to eastern Europe. In the meantime China makes it's move on Taiwan and others in the region; the Trump USA taking Canada, Greenland, Western Europe; the middle east being carved between Russia and Trump USA.

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better whilst Trump is in power.

Here in the UK people have been asking privately if Trump is a Russian asset. It is now being asked openly in the mainstream media.

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

Any deal with the current US administration isn't worth the paper it's written on.

It's already started. Trump is emboldening Putin with his attempt at brokering a peace deal and making concessions from the start without involving Ukraine. His threats to encourage Russia to attack NATO countries.

He's doing Putin's political dirty work.

The US could likely have a second civil war because of Trump aligning with Putin.

"drifting in an authoritarian direction"

Seriously? They're taking the piss pot and calling the kettle golden orange. Stop sending JD Vance over, stop Musk arse licking the far right AfD twats and stop repeatedly electing an authoritarian orange.
