Trump freezes US-funded media outlets: 'Goodbye,' White House says

Kari Lake, a firebrand Trump supporter and former Arizona news anchor put in charge of the media agency after she lost a US Senate bid, said in an email to the outlets that federal grant money 'no longer effectuates agency priorities.' White House press official Harrison Fields took a more casual tone, simply writing 'goodbye' on X in 20 languages, a jab at the outlets' multilingual coverage.
