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.

    I’m no-shit sincerely happy to see the rest of the world putting their finger in his eye.

    Yes, any retaliatory action will affect us all, but we were already going to all be affected by the buffoonery that those people voted in.

    At least this way it will help get him the fuck out of power and limit his damage in the meantime. And not just Musk, Trump and his pet Vance too!
