An executive order issued by Trump, who was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, mandates all agencies to immediately cease any DEI activities. Trump stated that such initiatives undermine a merit-based civil service and society. The new directive applies to all offices and sub-units focused solely on DEI-related initiatives and programmes.
