A court settlement has called for National Public Radio (NPR) to receive approximately $36million in government funding following the broadcaster’s row with President Donald Trump.
The grant money will allow the US organisation to operate under the terms set out by the court. As The Detroit News reports, the settlement was made with the federal government’s steward of funding for public broadcasting stations.
