Former U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan Daniel Rosenblum says VOA was “an essential source of information for society, the government, and our embassy.” Now that voice has been silenced and America’s global influence is paying the price. “Our competitors and adversaries are broadcasting.
