Trump Media Begins Global Beta Testing Truth+ Streaming, Launches Newsmax Internationally

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. has begun beta testing the international expansion of its streaming platform Truth+, extending beyond its current availability in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to markets worldwide. This global rollout includes making the flagship Newsmax channel accessible internationally without the need for a VPN, aiming to provide viewers in Europe, Asia, and beyond with alternative news perspectives. CEO Devin Nunes emphasized the goal of deepening Trump Media's international footprint and offering a fresh perspective, while Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy highlighted the opportunity to reach new audiences globally. The expansion aligns with Trump Media's broader mission to challenge Big Tech's control over free speech by diversifying media voices internationally, though the company may face regulatory hurdles and increased competition in foreign markets. Financially, the move is seen as a strategic effort to grow revenue and diversify the audience base, with the inclusion of Newsmax expected to boost viewership and advertising income. Despite no confirmed official launch date, this initiative follows President Trump's recent executive order reducing Voice of America's reach, although no direct connection between these actions has been established.
