The Trump administration's latest human rights report has removed references specifically addressing LGBTQ+ issues, drawing significant criticism from the Congressional Equality Caucus, which argues this omission condones abuse. The report’s delayed publication is attributed to efforts by Trump appointees to align it with the administration’s America First values. Moreover, it avoids mentioning severe anti-LGBTQ+ laws in countries like Uganda, where new legislation imposes harsh penalties for homosexuality. Officials claim the report was simply streamlined for readability but faced backlash for these significant omissions and apparent bias in criticism of various countries.
The latest edition of the annual report covers the status of internationally recognised human rights and worker rights in countries receiving assistance from the US, and all United Nations member states.
The report, published months late, was altered by Trump appointees to align with America First values and reflect various executive orders signed by Trump.
