'US Missions To Review Aid Programs For Compliance With New Rules On Abortion, Diversity And Gender' - Reuters Exclusive

• Trump administration expanded Mexico City Policy, which critics call global gag rule
• Rule now impacts foreign and US-based NGOs
• Comes after Trump shut down main aid agency

The State Department has ordered U.S. missions worldwide to review all aid programs to ensure they meet stringent new rules that prohibit funding of groups working on family planning, diversity or what the Trump administration calls "gender ideology," according to a cable seen by Reuters.

The Trump administration last week announced the expansion of the so-called Mexico City Policy, which opponents call the "global gag rule" because they say it silences abortion rights advocates.
