'Anti-American'? US questions UN agencies, international aid groups

A list of 36 questions was sent to small and large organisations alike as part of Washington's ongoing review of its vast foreign aid spending. "I don't think we have ever received anything like this," said a staff member at a large humanitarian organisation, speaking on condition of anonymity. While the questionnaire, obtained by AFP, included typical donor queries about things like "cost-effectiveness" strategies, others seemed crafted to determine if grantees conform with the politics of President Donald Trump's administration.
