U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to freeze federal family-planning grants worth about $120 million this year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The WSJ said the money for the groups, which include Planned Parenthood affiliates, would be held while the administration reviews whether any of the funds were used in diversity efforts, adding that the pause could be announced as soon as this week.
"HHS is reviewing grantees to ensure compliance with President Trump’s Executive Orders," a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services told Reuters.
