Trump Administration Plans $4 Million Funding for Right-Wing Media in Europe
The Trump administration plans to allocate at least $25 million to European civil society groups, including $4 million to support right-wing media and journalism. The U.S. State Department describes the funding as promoting free speech and strengthening transatlantic ties.

The funds include $3 million to analyze democratic backsliding related to migration and media, and $1 million to support independent journalists covering sovereignty and religious freedom.
