Summary
Denmark and the Netherlands criticized Trump’s demand that foreign companies with U.S. government contracts eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Denmark called for a coordinated EU response, labeling the move a potential trade barrier.
The Trump administration sent letters to European firms—including in France and Belgium—warning they must comply with a DEI ban or risk losing U.S. contracts.
European officials condemned the letters, defending DEI as essential to corporate responsibility. The EU Commission is reviewing the situation, while the U.S. State Department called the effort a compliance measure.
No, I know, but there appears to be a collective shame here over him. At least from everyone who knows better at least. This moronic con man with the IQ of pudding somehow won, again, but this time with the popular vote. And there’s not just the embarresment that he is, its also the long term damage he’s doing to our reputation. I don’t live that far from canada, and I have personally noticed the dip in the number of canadian plates I see around here, and it hurts. I have more to say but I feel like I’d just be ranting.
