News Summary:

On June 13, 2026, the White House expressed a fresh push to counter terrorist propaganda. This follows a new White House strategy paper, detailed on June 3, 2026, and previously reported on May 29, 2026, which called for stepping up efforts to counter terror groups’ propaganda. Voice of America (VOA) had previously filled this role until President Donald Trump "kneecapped" the government-run news broadcaster last year. Earlier, on May 13, 2026, President Trump nominated Kari Lake as the next US ambassador to Jamaica. Lake had spearheaded the Trump administration’s push to dismantle VOA, an effort her Senate confirmation would conclude.
