The Reuters Tariff Watch newsletter is your daily guide to the latest global trade and tariff news.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;We want to ensure that our contracts comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws and that suppliers do not operate programmes that promote diversity, equity and inclusion in violation of existing federal laws,&#8221; the spokesperson added. The written warnings reflect U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s ambition to extend outside the U.S. an executive order issued in January that directed government agency chiefs to dismantle DEI policies at federal agencies, federal contractors and in the private sector. This has created a legal standoff back home, after years in which U.S. companies have embraced DEI policies that track race and ethnicity data and set diversity targets in hiring and other corporate practices.<\/p>\n<p>According to the letter sent to companies outside the U.S., failure to submit the required information and confirm compliance will result in a freeze on payments. Reuters has been unable to establish how many companies have received letters nor how much their combined contracts are worth. But the anti-DEI pressure from Washington has highlighted the extraterritorial reach of U.S. policies and their potential impact on European corporate practices. The U.S. State Department did not immediately return a request for comment on the letters containing the warning.<\/p>\n<p>Other &#8221;America First&#8221; policies pursued by Trump have stoked economic and political tensions between the U.S. and Europe since his January 20 inauguration, at a time when his actions on tariffs and security ties have upended transatlantic relations.Companies abroad with U.S. contracts have been told to confirm their compliance with Trump&#8217;s crackdown on DEI in a questionnaire entitled &#8221;Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Federal Anti-Discrimination Law&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions are understood to have been sent to a wide range of firms including those supplying the homes of U.S. embassy staff with water, gas and electricity, to newspapers to which embassies subscribe, and catering suppliers. The Spanish Labour Ministry said the American directive was a &#8221;flagrant violation&#8221; of Spain&#8217;s strict anti-discrimination and diversity laws, and companies seeking to comply would face investigation by the Labour Inspectorate.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us-embassies-globally-tell-suppliers-comply-with-trump-ban-diversity-policies-2025-03-31\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us-embassies-globally-tell-suppliers-comply-with-trump-ban-diversity-policies-2025-03-31\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/us-embassies-globally-tell-suppliers-to-comply-with-trump-ban-on-diversity-policies\/\">US embassies globally tell suppliers to comply with Trump ban on diversity policies<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,18396,18397],"class_list":["post-138721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-trump-ban","tag-us-embassies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138721\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
