A German industry group said it had "great skepticism" about the Trump Administration's attempt to force foreign companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with its order to cut diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
"The BDI views with great scepticism the efforts of the U.S. government to enforce political ideas with regard to corporate guidelines beyond its own national borders," said Germany's BDI, Reuters reported.
"Corporate principles apply regardless of which government is in power in which country. We therefore encourage companies to stick to their principles."
