I’m concerned by reports of renewed armed clashes between Cambodia & Thailand.
I urge both parties to exercise restraint & avoid further escalation, recommit to the ceasefire & use all mechanisms for dialogue to find a lasting solution to the dispute through peaceful means.
The @UN stands ready to support all efforts aimed at promoting peace, stability & development in the region.
Some foreign nationals with expired roles in my agency are refusing to return home. That’s not how this works.
America isn’t a hostel.
It’s time for them to go home.
“For millions across Southeast Asia, VOA and RFA were neither progressive nor conservative—they were simply audible. Their role wasn’t to echo Washington’s views but to offer another view—a view unsanctioned by the regimes that dominate local airwaves.” Read it on The Dispatch. #SaveVOA

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
"United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is excited to announce a partnership with One America News Network (OAN) to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio Martí, and Voice of America (VOA).
This idea came about after OCB suggested we explore OAN as a newsfeed option for the Miami-based, U.S. Government-funded news operation broadcasting to Cuba. At their suggestion, I reached out to OAN, and they offered to provide their newsfeed and video service free-of-charge.
This is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGM's news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences.
In my current role as Senior Advisor to USAGM, I don't have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs.
And every day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money. Bringing in OAN as a video/news source does both.
OAN is one of the few family-owned American media networks left in the United States. We are grateful for their generosity."
