Trump’s administration has sent a letter to some major French companies that warns them to execute the executive order that prohibits diversity, its own justice and inclusion.

In a letter sent by the US Embassy in Paris, it was said TrumpAccording to the person acquainted with this issue, the executive order applied to companies that are not included in the US when they were a provider or service provider for the US government.

The embassy also sent a questionnaire that ordered the companies to testify. The document, which saw the Financial Times, is called “Certification regarding the implementation of the current Federal Anti -Discrimination Law”.

The document states that “the Department of State Contractors must confirm that they do not manage programs that are promoting Dei, which violate any current laws against discrimination and agree that such certification is a significant purpose of the state decision on payment and thus obeying the law on false claims.”

The documents seem to signal that Trump administration expands its company against Dei to foreign companies after launching repression against American media groups such as Disney.

A senior banker in Paris said he had been shocked. “It’s crazy … But everything is possible. Now the rule prevails.”

The French Ministry of Finance has expressed concern after some companies that participated in the report.

“This practice reflects the values ​​of the new US government. They are not like ours,” said a man close to FranceEconomy Minister Eric Lombard. “The ministry reminds its colleagues in the US government.”

The existence of the letter was first reported by the Les échos newspaper.

The US extrasystorial step comes against the backdrop of increasing tensions between the Trump and Europe administration because of economic and security policies, since the nation departs from traditional allies, especially in trade and complete large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This week, Trump has introduced an additional 25 % of the US automobile import fees and has increased tariffs for European imports and aluminum. In response, the EU is working on mutual tariffs, but has not yet decided what products to focus on.

This week, Trump’s high -ranking attitude to Europe was thrown into sharp assistance when reports of US attack plans in Yemen traced into US media. “I just hate to help Europe again,” Vice President J. D. Vens in the chat group. “It’s pathetic,” said Defense Minister Pete Hegset.

France has traditionally not been a place where Dei programs have taken root with legal restrictions in racial and ethnic data. Employers cannot take into account the origin of people in employment or promotion solutions.

But French companies that are potentially subjected to the US include aviation and defense groups, consulting providers and infrastructure companies. FT could not immediately determine which companies received a letter.

According to the Echosa forest, the letter lies: “If you do not agree to sign this document, we would be grateful if you can kindly give us the detailed reasons that we will transfer to our legal department.”
