Trump administration redirects human rights fund to right-wing programs
The Trump administration is pushing to redirect more than $175 million from the State Department's flagship human rights fund to right-wing programs, including $40 million for an anti-communism fund, support for a group promoting white Afrikaner rights in South Africa, a campaign targeting Brazil's Supreme Court and programs rewarding ideological allies in Europe. The move, which critics say could alienate U.S. allies, reflects how Washington is redefining human rights.
