Summary

The Trump administration has ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with Trump’s executive order that bans diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Companies received letters from the U.S. embassy in Paris with a compliance questionnaire to be completed within five days.

French Finance Minister Eric Lombard plans to address this with U.S. counterparts, stating “This practice reflects the values of the new U.S. government. They are not the same as ours.”
