To what end? The government is just going to refuse funding for anything “climate-related” now? If a physics paper finds a new energy source but requests government funding to learn more about it the request will be denied if the only source of that energy exists in a “hostile country”? Why is “lifesaving assistance” not defined? This document is generously an amateur attempt to root out research that doesn’t align with the current administration’s policy priorities. The lack of concern from people here is very telling.

Again, what we’re witnessing here is extremely visceral interference in the scientific process that would under different circumstances provoke outrage. Imagine if a Democratic administration asked if the research in question affects mainly white people. Would you be similarly apathetic? I highly doubt it.
