Summary
France condemned U.S. interference after the U.S. embassy in Paris warned French firms against using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, citing a Trump executive order banning such initiatives.
The U.S. letter required companies to certify DEI non-compliance or risk jeopardizing U.S. contracts.
France’s trade ministry called the move “unacceptable,” vowing to defend national values and businesses.
French law prohibits race-based hiring metrics, focusing instead on gender and socioeconomic inclusion.
Of all the people in the world, the clown administration made the worst decision and chose the French to try to fuck with.
Then again, “making the worst decision” is on par with anything this administration did so far. Literally.
Not just with the French, the same is happening all over Europe. I’ve heard from a first hand source that the US embassy in Finland has already canceled contracts with companies that refused the demand.
Just to add, the only time article 5 has been triggered it was by the US at the suggestion of the UK.
And a friendly reminder that European and Canadian troops died in the way on terror
Hey American gov: fuck off
“slams”
slam
I have slam exhaustion.
I wish they would be more creative, such a boring word.
