The Trump administration demands UN agencies disclose any ‘anti-American’ ties

The Trump administration has demanded that U.N. humanitarian agencies disclose any ties to communism, socialism, or anti-American beliefs, according to U.S. and U.N. officials. The questionnaire explores various concerns, including organizations’ stances on promoting diversity and abortion-related care.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric confirmed that various agencies have received the questionnaires about their internal operations. Thomas Shannon, a former U.S. diplomat, expressed that diversity at the U.N. is a fact and not an ideology, highlighting its importance in addressing global challenges.
