It’s fascinating to see the Clown World puppet states of Europe complaining that the US government is interfering with the activities of their corporations by applying its laws to them, while at the same time attempting to directly interfere with the activities of US corporations like Gab.
France’s Ministry of Foreign Trade has denounced a request by Washington that French companies working with the US government eliminate their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, calling it “unacceptable interference” in a statement to AFP on Saturday.
The statement came after French media outlets reported that the US embassy in Paris sent letters to several companies urging them to end internal anti-discrimination policies. The request follows a January executive order by US President Donald Trump aimed at dismantling DEI initiatives across federal agencies and contractors.
According to Le Figaro, French firms working with the US were given five days to scrap their DEI or explain in writing why they could not. Each letter reportedly included a “compliance form” and warned that failure to meet the new requirements could result in larger customs duties or even the termination of US government contracts.
“American interference in the DEI policies of French companies, such as threats of unjustified customs duties, is unacceptable,” the French Trade Ministry told AFP. “France and Europe will defend their businesses, their consumers, but also their values.”
The strange thing about control freaks is that they are always shocked when someone else applies to them the same principles that they apply to everyone else. I mean, a) how do they not see it coming and b) why do they expect any sympathy from anyone when they cry about having done to them what they’ve been doing to others?
