Groups working on development, gender equality and conflict – areas the Trump administration had repeatedly dismissed as advancing “globalist” or “woke” agendas – are also included. The White House said the decision was taken because those entities “no longer serve American interests” and promote “ineffective or hostile agendas”. The…
