The Trump administration plans to halt federal funding of any organization or government that supports work overseas related to gender identity or diversity, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing a U.S. official and nonprofit groups informed of the policy change.

The new restrictions are being treated as an expansion of the so-called Mexico City Policy, a Republican initiative that bars overseas recipients of U.S. health dollars from providing or promoting abortion services, even if other funding sources pay for those services, according to Politico.
