The State Department has issued new directives requiring that only U.S. flags be flown at embassies and consulates worldwide, signaling a shift from the Biden administration's practices which allowed for pride and Black Lives Matter flags. The change was highlighted in a news release about Trump's early actions in office. Although the mandate prohibits non-U.S. flags, it permits prisoner-of-war and missing-in-action flags. This move is part of Trump's broader strategy to dismantle Biden's policies, impacting diversity efforts and protections for marginalized communities, marking a continued evolution of flag display policy over the years.
In a move that marks a significant shift away from the policies of the previous administration, the State Department has mandated that only U.S. flags fly at embassies.
The directive underscores President Trump's ongoing efforts to reverse Biden-era policies, including those that protect transgender rights and promote diversity.
