United Nations aid agencies have been sent questionnaires by the US asking them to state if they have "anti-American" beliefs or affiliations.
Among the 36 questions on the form, sent by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and seen by the BBC, is one asking if they have any links to communism.
Some of the world's biggest humanitarian organisations have received the questionnaire, including the UN Refugee Agency and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Many of the UN aid agencies who were sent the form receive funding, not just from USAID, but directly from the US government.
One question asks: ''Can you confirm that your organisation does not work with entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties, or any party that espouses anti-American beliefs?"
Another asks agencies to confirm they don't receive any funding from China, Russia, Cuba or Iran - these countries may not be Washington's best friends but, like all 193 UN member states, they fund the big humanitarian agencies.
Other questions ask aid agencies to ensure no project includes any elements of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) or anything related to climate change.
The UN aid agencies believe the questionnaire misunderstands their core principles of neutrality and impartiality - that people suffering because of war or natural disaster should be helped regardless of political beliefs, and that aid should not be used as a tool to strengthen one particular nation.
UN Human Rights has already chosen not to fill out the form.
"Given they were mostly yes/no questions with very limited room for elaboration, and that some of the questions were not applicable to the UN, we were not in a position to reply directly to the online questionnaires," a spokesperson told the BBC.

Excellent, more funding for US citizens.
Maybe… But McCarthy was correct. Time has proven him right.
Everyone opposed to the deep state and their leftist puppets needs to be familiar with the Rules and apply them against our enemies.
Do you have communist links? Do you hate America? These questions should be asked of all Democrats.
That question should be on Elon’s next email blast to Federal employees.
True.
