US redirects $175M human rights fund to rightwing causes, anti-communism

The Trump administration is reallocating the State Department's flagship human rights fund, with a $40M grant for an anti-communism fund, support for white Afrikaner rights in South Africa, and campaigns against Brazil's supreme court. This marks a significant redefinition of US human rights priorities, shifting from traditional civil liberties to ideological allies. The move signals a broader geopolitical realignment, potentially straining relations with South Africa and Brazil.
