BRUSSELS — The European Union agreed Tuesday to provide emergency funds to help keep Radio Free Europe afloat after the Trump administration stopped grants to the pro-democracy media outlet, accusing it of promoting a news agenda with a liberal bias.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty started broadcasting 75 years ago during the Cold War. Its programs are aired in 27 languages in 23 countries across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. Its lawyers have been fighting the administration in court.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc agreed to a $6.2 million contract to “support the vital work of Radio Free Europe.” She said that she hoped the EU would also provide more funds to help the outlet longer term. — Associated Press
