Administraţia Trump ameninţă că va reduce sprijinul agenţiilor federale pentru Smithsonian

The Trump administration threatened to cut federal support for the Smithsonian, citing concerns over its leadership and focus on slavery. A letter from officials expressed that federal agencies could not support the institution under current management. Critics argue this could reverse social progress and undermine historical recognition. The Smithsonian's secretary defended the institution against accusations of anti-Americanism and discrimination. The letter also called for a meeting to address the administration's criticisms regarding diversity practices.
