A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the implementation of an "unlawful and unenforceable" order by US President Donald Trump to end funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

Trump's order sought to punish the media outlets for speech he dislikes, US District Judge Randolph Moss ruled, noting that the First Amendment protection of free speech "does not tolerate viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type."
