'Completely bizarre': Stockholm hits back at US embassy's anti-DEI contract

The US Embassy has issued an unusual directive, compelling Swedish global companies to include a certification in their contracts stating they don't promote diversity, equity, or inclusion. This move follows President Trump's termination of federal DEI programs, aligning with Sweden's legal mandate requiring companies to actively combat discrimination. The request comes as the first instance for a country to impose such measures on businesses globally, while similar campaigns have already been mounted by other nations like Spain and France in recent months.
