Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty grant restored after termination

$12M FY2025 grant restored

Original action

An executive order gutting the U.S. Agency for Global Media led USAGM to terminate the congressionally appropriated grant funding RFE/RL.

  • U.S. Agency for Global Media
  • Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

Reversal

After a court ordered $12M restored and found the administration could not unilaterally revoke appropriated funds, USAGM withdrew its termination of RFE/RL's FY2025 grant.

  • Mechanism: court-forced

Notes

USAGM withdrew the termination after the court ruling; future-year funding remained contested.
