\n Dozens of foreign journalists working in the US for Voice of America will not have their visas extended once they expire, NPR reported Thursday, citing a trio of sources.<\/p>\n

The report said Michael Pack, President Trump\u2019s newly app<\/a>ointed CEO of the Agency for Global Media<\/a>, which oversees international broadcasting, indicated he would not approve the visa extensions.<\/p>\n

Pack on Wednesday also ordered the firing of ex-Radio Free Asia chief Bay Fang, whom Pack had previously demoted.<\/p>\n

The foreign journalists are valued for their language skills, which are essential to the VOA\u2019s mission as an international broadcaster that presents America\u2019s take on the news<\/a> to the world.<\/p>\n

One VOA journalist told NPR that some of the foreign journalists forced to return home would likely face repercussions from their own countries\u2019 governments that are hostile to the US.<\/p>\n

Trump nominated Pack, an ally and documentary filmmaker, two years ago to be CEO of the international broadcasting agency, but he was only confirmed by the Senate last month.<\/p>\n

Pack quickly canned the directors of all the agency\u2019s divisions: Radio Free Europe\/Radio Liberty; Radio Free Asia; Office of Cuba Broadcasting, which oversees Radio and Television Mart\u00ed; Middle East Broadcasting Networks, which runs Alhurra and Radio Sawa; and the Open Technology<\/a> Fund, which promotes internet access around the world.<\/p>\n

The director and deputy director of Voice of America resigned shortly before Pack took office, saying he should be able to appoint his own team.<\/p>\n

Trump and his administration have been highly critical of Voice of America.<\/p>\n

The White House claimed in April that VOA had \u201camplified Beijing\u2019s propaganda\u201d by running an Associated Press article about COVID-19 policies in China, where the virus originated.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
