The administration led by President Trump has instructed federal agencies to review a broad array of grant programs that collectively involve trillions in spending. This review is aimed at enforcing ideological conformity, focusing on issues such as funding for abortion, support for undocumented immigrants, and initiatives promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In the guidelines released by the Office of Management and Budget, officials are required to respond to key questions about each grant program's alignment with the administration’s views. Queries include whether programs endorse gender ideology, provide overseas funding, or create barriers to the utilization of domestic energy resources.

While this assessment process is ongoing, the budget office has cautioned federal agencies to suspend any grant programs that may conflict with a series of new executive orders put forth by President Trump.
