华盛顿，3月12日（路透社） – 美国国务院周四表示，总统唐纳德·特朗普提名一名国务院高级官员，兼任美国全球媒体署（USAGM）负责人。此前，一名联邦法官裁定特朗普任命的前首席执行官对该机构进行的人员削减无效。
负责公共外交事务的国务院副国务卿莎拉·罗杰斯（Sarah Rogers）被特朗普提名为接任者。罗杰斯曾领导政府针对欧洲互联网监管的运动，华盛顿方面称这些监管构成审查。该机构负责监督美国资助的媒体机构，如旨在面向压迫国家民众的美国之音（Voice of America），这些媒体覆盖数亿人群。

国务院发言人表示：”USAGM的使命长期以来与国务院密切一致，负责公共外交事务的副国务卿一直与该机构保持咨询权。”
“如果罗杰斯被确认为USAGM的首席执行官，她将凭借独特优势，从国家利益出发显著加强美国国际广播与美国公共外交之间的协调。”
罗杰斯必须获得美国参议院的确认才能正式就任。
美国司法部周四在法庭文件中表示，国务院代理部长迈克尔·里加斯（Michael Rigas）将临时履行该机构首席执行官的职责。
特朗普任命的该机构高级顾问卡丽·莱克（Kari Lake）曾大幅削减USAGM的员工和运营规模。USAGM旗下还包括自由亚洲电台（Radio Free Asia）和自由欧洲电台/自由欧洲电台（Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty），这些电台使用64种语言广播。
美国地区法官罗伊斯·兰伯思（Royce Lamberth）周六作出简易判决，支持包括美国之音记者和代表联邦雇员的工会在内的原告。原告方辩称，莱克被任命为代理首席执行官及其履职行为违反了《联邦空缺职位改革法案》和宪法任命条款，这对特朗普政府削减各类政府机构的企图又是一次打击。
莱克在X平台（原推特）上发文称，她过去一年进行的”机构规模合理化”努力”非常有效，以至于’深层国家’用尽一切手段阻止我们，包括对我和机构提起恶意诉讼。”

Trump nominates State Dept official to lead diminished US global media agency
March 12, 2026 10:27 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump nominated a senior State Department official to take on the additional role of leading the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the department said on Thursday, after a federal judge invalidated the previous Trump-appointed CEO’s staff cuts at the agency.
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers, who has led the administration’s campaign against European Internet regulations that Washington says constitute censorship, was named as Trump’s pick to take over the agency that oversees U.S.-funded media outlets like Voice of America that are aimed at populations in oppressive countries and reach hundreds of millions of people.

“USAGM’s mission has long been closely aligned with the Department of State, and the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy has always held consultative authorities with the agency,” a State Department spokesperson said.
“If confirmed as the CEO of USAGM, Under Secretary Rogers would be uniquely well positioned to significantly strengthen coordination between U.S. international broadcasting and American public diplomacy in the national interest.”
Rogers must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate before she can assume the role.
The Department of Justice said in a court filing on Thursday that Deputy Secretary of State Michael Rigas would perform the duties of the agency’s CEO in the interim.
Kari Lake, who was appointed by Trump as a senior adviser to the agency, ushered in sweeping cuts to USAGM’s staff and operations at outlets that also include Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that broadcast in 64 languages.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth on Saturday granted a summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs, including VOA journalists and a union representing federal employees. They had argued that Lake’s appointment as acting CEO and actions she took in that role ran afoul of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, dealing another blow to the Trump administration’s attempts to diminish various government agencies.
Lake, in a post on X, said what she called her efforts at “right-sizing” the agency were “so effective over the last year that the Deep State has done everything they can to stop us, including launching malicious lawsuits at me and the agency.”
