The Trump administration is taking its culture war global.
U.S. officials on Friday sought to expunge any references to diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, and “gender ideology” in a series of UNICEF work programs in Colombia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Paraguay, and Rwanda.
The move underscores the new U.S. administration’s commitment to pushing back on what it sees as an overly progressive United Nations agenda on social issues, while raising the prospect of deep financial cuts to UNICEF, one of the U.N. most popular agencies, and one that has traditionally been led by an American national.
