Trump Executive Order Targets Funding for "Improper Ideology" at US Museums

Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at reshaping the Smithsonian Institution. This move follows the administration's efforts to address perceived liberal biases in institutions such as universities and the arts. The order specifically targets programs that are deemed to promote "divisive narratives" and "improper ideology." According to the president, there has been a "concerted and widespread" effort over the past decade to promote such ideologies. The National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened in 2016, has been specifically mentioned by Trump as an institution that will be affected by the changes.
