President Trump Ends All Foreign Abortion Spending

In this LifeNews article, President Donald Trump announces a sweeping expansion of the Mexico City Policy to end all U.S. taxpayer funding for abortion-related activities in foreign aid programs.

• The administration expanded the Mexico City Policy to cover nearly all non-military U.S. foreign assistance, not just global health funding.
• The policy prohibits U.S. funds from supporting foreign organizations that perform abortions or promote abortion as a method of family planning.
• Vice President J.D. Vance unveiled the policy expansion during remarks at the March for Life in Washington, D.C.
• The new rules apply to approximately $30 billion in foreign aid, including humanitarian assistance programs.
• The policy closes loopholes that previously allowed indirect funding of abortion-related activities overseas.
• In addition to abortion restrictions, the framework limits funding for diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender ideology programs abroad.
• Organizations receiving U.S. funds must certify compliance, even if abortion activities are funded with non-U.S. money.
• Existing grants are exempt, though many prior contracts were already canceled under earlier administrative actions.
