Green MEP urges EU companies not to change diversity policy post-Trump letter | Radio Schuman

In an interview with Euronews, Green MEP Majdouline Sbai stated that European companies should not feel pressured to abandon their values, management practices, or commitment to diversity and workplace well-being in response to Trump’s letter.

European companies should not feel compelled to abandon their values, management practices, or commitment to diversity and workplace care, French Green MEP Majdouline Sbai tells Radio Schuman today.

Her remarks came in response to letters from the US administration to several European embassies, urging suppliers to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures to maintain their contracts in the US.

This move follows the Trump administration’s broader efforts to dismantle DEI policies across federal agencies, contractors, the private sector, universities, and international grant recipients.

The strongest responses came from France and Belgium, with Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Jan Jambon asserting that Europe upholds a culture of non-discrimination and rejecting US interference.

Radio Schuman also explores the EU-Central Asia summit that will start today in Samarkand as well as the top European companies for nervous travellers.
