The recent policy adjustment highlights a commitment to the President’s One Voice for America’s Foreign Relations directive, emphasizing the importance of the Department’s role in maintaining a cohesive and professional tone across all forms of communication.

Since assuming office in January, President Trump, representing the Republican Party, has swiftly acted to dismantle federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

This move reflects a significant shift in the federal approach to promoting diversity and inclusion under the current administration.
