MADRID/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration has warned suppliers to U.S. embassies and consulates as well as recipients of U.S. grants worldwide that they must comply with its ban on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programmes or risk losing payments.
Suppliers for U.S. diplomatic missions have been told to confirm compliance with the DEI crackdown in a questionnaire entitled "Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Federal Anti-Discrimination Law", according to a copy reviewed by Reuters.
