President Trump announced former Arizona gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake will serve as the Director of Voice of America.

"I am pleased to announce that Kari Lake will serve as our next Director of the Voice of America. She will be appointed by, and work closely with, our next head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, who I will announce soon, to ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media," Trump said.

"Kari was a beloved News Anchor in Arizona, which supported me by record margins, for over 20 years," he added.

Lake was a longtime Arizona broadcaster who ran unsuccessfully for public office in 2022 and 2024.

Voice of America is an influential broadcast channel that serves news, information, and cultural programming through the Internet, mobile and social media, radio, and television.

The broadcaster serves in over 40 languages.

"Kari has YEARS of experience as a broadcaster, so this is the perfect position for her!" journalist Nick Sortor commented.
