The U.S. State Department is attempting to address backlash from European countries in response to letters sent to contractors, instructing them to comply with President Trump's anti-diversity policies. These letters have incited criticism from European officials who claim it's a coercive attempt to impose U.S. policies abroad. The State Department later clarified that compliance only applies to companies controlled by U.S. employers that employ U.S. citizens, contradicting the letters' previous assertions. Concerns persist regarding the implications of enforcing U.S. federal anti-discrimination laws globally.
The State Department's letters to European contractors sparked backlash, as officials viewed it as an attempt to impose Trump-era anti-diversity policies abroad.
Despite claims of a clarification, the State Department's message remains contradictory, as it continues to reference an executive order targeting diversity initiatives globally.
