The Trump administration is reportedly set to expand the Mexico City Policy, cutting federal funding for organizations and governments supporting gender identity and diversity initiatives overseas.

According to Politico, this extension pertains to U.S.-based and international groups, potentially including nonprofits, foreign governments, and UN programs. The move is part of the administration's effort to close funding loopholes and prioritize American values.

While groups like the Global Health Council and MSI Reproductive Choices have been briefed, they have yet to respond. A senior State Department official affirmed the focus on President Trump's 'American First' policy.
