The US is adding "gender ideology" to the list of activities foreign organizations are prohibited from engaging in if they want to receive American aid.

Even what in the US are called DEI programs - policies for diversity, equity and inclusion - will be blacklisted.

The addition of the new criteria is seen as an expansion of the existing Mexico City policy, which has long been applied by Republican administrations and involves stopping funding for organizations that provide abortion counseling, perform legal abortions, or participate in the abortion debate abroad.

The new rules could cover aid funds worth a total of $30 billion, according to an official in President Donald Trump's administration.
