Trump Signs Executive Order Asking Federal Contractors to Eliminate DEI

{snip}

The latest executive order signed on Thursday requires certain federal contracts to include a clause ​prohibiting contractors and their subcontractors from engaging in DEI, ​the White House said.

The order directs the White House Office of Management ‌and ⁠Budget to issue guidance to contracting agencies for compliance and identify economic sectors whose players engage in DEI, it added.

It also directs agencies to cancel, terminate, or suspend ​contracts – and to ​suspend or ⁠debar contractors – for failure to comply, according to the White House.
