Overview
- Vice President JD Vance announced the expansion at the March for Life, saying the policy now targets groups that promote abortion, DEI or "gender ideology."
- An administration official said three final rules would implement the changes in the Federal Register, markedly widening the policy beyond prior global health limits.
- The expanded rules cover international organizations and U.S.-based NGOs, requiring recipients to certify compliance to receive U.S. funds.
- Officials said the scope now reaches more than $30 billion in nonmilitary foreign assistance, and Vance said the policy is about three times larger than before.
- Reproductive-rights and human-rights organizations warned the move will hinder humanitarian and medical services worldwide, describing it as an assault on health and equality.
