US EditionTrump administration to block foreign aid from those promoting abortion, DEI and gender identity
The policy bars over $30 billion in U.S. aid to groups supporting abortion or diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, part of a broader Trump administration initiative.
- The U.S. State Department said it will broaden the Mexico City policy on Friday to bar aid to groups promoting `gender ideology` and diversity, equity and inclusion, covering over $30 billion and international organizations and U.S.-based aid agencies.
- Timed to the March for Life demonstration and the anniversary of the now-overturned Roe v. Wade decision, the Trump administration announced this week a package including the National Institutes of Health ending human fetal tissue research funding.
- Anti-Abortion advocates praised the expansion, with SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser saying `All of these things are fantastic news` on a call with reporters, while the White House reposted a Fox News article on X confirming the plans.
- LGBTQ+ and abortion rights advocates warned the expansion will force aid groups to choose between U.S. funding and lifesaving services, with experts saying tens of billions could be affected, Kates said.
- The administration's prior cuts to USAID and DEI offices signal broader changes to aid, including dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development and curtailing DEI and transgender assistance programs, while aid impact uncertainty remains.
