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.
So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don’t suppose he would make demands like ‘stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people’ now would he? Nah, let’s drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven’t heard much on them of late…
He can demand the world from Denmark and France, yet he can’t demand anything about the guy his admin wrongly deported to El Salvador?
Well, yeah, because the man sent to El Salvador would talk before he falls out of a 10 story window. Can’t let that happen.
He felt so bad about creating this situation that he shot himself twice in the back of the head.
But if the US asks for Europe to consider American opinions, wouldn’t that in itself be diversity?! Paradoxical! 🤔
