City official says it will not comply with request seeking to impose Donald Trump’s rollback of diversity measures
A city official in Stockholm has said the municipality has no plans to comply after one of its offices received a letter seeking to impose Donald Trump’s rollback of diversity measures, in what is believed to be the first such missive sent to a foreign government.
“It’s so bizarre,” said Jan Valeskog, Stockholm’s vice-mayor for planning. “It’s our political priorities that count, not the ones from this embassy or any other embassies.”
If diversity is so bad, why won't the US take their "win" against DEI and immigration and let Europe fall behind 'murica in whatever they think they're winning at?
Never mind America has been completely enshittified by its own propaganda and corporations, and insists you believe in American Freedom while pointing a gun at you.
This being a totally different legal jurisdiction makes the whole thing nothing more that an empty threat and pretty sad attempt at bullying, which can be safelly ignored which is exactly what the Stockholm authorities are doing.
In March, European officials lambasted the US after companies across the continent said they had received letters informing them that the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives also applied to foreign firms looking to do business with the US government.
