Trump shuts down Radio Martí, impacting Cuba coverage

Radio Martí, a U.S. government-funded broadcaster aimed at Cuba, has been closed by the Trump administration. This news broke when journalists were interviewing a Cuban activist in Miami. The sudden closure shocked the crew, who found out about it through an email. Radio Martí had been operational for 40 years, providing uncensored news to people in Cuba. The move to shut it down is seen as a significant decision. Ramón Saúl Sánchez, the activist being interviewed, expressed the confusion of the journalists. They felt they had been abruptly terminated and needed to leave. The closure of Radio Martí is part of broader cost-cutting measures by President Trump and his adviser, Elon Musk. This action removes a long-standing source of news that had angered Cuba's communist government.
