Voice of America resumes broadcasts into North Korea after months of silence

In deposition, Kari Lake implies move to restart Korean broadcasts this month came in response to Seoul's policies

Voice of America (VOA) has resumed broadcasts delivering news of the outside world to North Koreans after half a year of radio silence, with the head of the agency overseeing its agency’s operations suggesting this came in response to the Lee administration’s policies.

Kari Lake, head of the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), told a U.S. court that the service is “currently doing some broadcasting” in North Korea, according to court documents made public on Tuesday.

She did not provide details about VOA’s current or future radio, TV and online broadcasts aimed at North Korea in her deposition
