US to Halt Funding for Foreign Groups That Promote DEI: VP Vance

WASHINGTON—Vice President JD Vance announced on Jan. 23 that the Trump administration would restrict funding to international organizations that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, in addition to abortion.

“We’re going to start blocking every international NGO that performs or promotes abortion abroad from receiving $1 of U.S. money,” Vice President JD Vance said during a speech at the annual March for Life. “Now we’re expanding this policy to protect life, to combat DEI and the radical gender ideologies that prey on our children.”
