Efforts by the US government to eliminate diversity initiatives have not been well-received in Europe, after French media reported last week that major companies in the country had received a letter saying President Donald Trump's rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives also could apply outside the US.
European Commission spokesperson Eva Hrnčířová acknowledged a letter had been sent, but said "we need to know a bit more details before we react and as you know and as you have pointed out, anti-discrimination and equality is based on our main values."
