Biden-era directive for diplomats to peddle DEI on foreign governments scrapped by State Department

Trump's State Department junked Biden guidance that told diplomats to push DEIA and LGBTQI+ talking points in bilateral talks.

Summary

Fox reported exclusively that the State Department is discarding Biden-era guidance directing personnel to push DEIA agendas on foreign officials.
Documents had instructed diplomats to elevate Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility and LGBTQI+ issues in high-level bilateral talks.
Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said Trump-era diplomats are tasked with national interests, not demonstrating adherence to woke political dogmas.
The scrap is part of a wider purge of Biden DEI instructions across foreign-policy channels.
Allies and partners had been getting U.S. lectures on domestic social policy alongside core security talks.

Commentary

Embassies exist to advance American interests, not to grade foreign cabinets on DEI homework.

Japan and other allies need bases, energy, and China strategy. They do not need a rainbow PowerPoint before the real meeting starts.

Scrap the dogma. Keep the alliance work. USAID-style ideology export was never soft power; it was soft sabotage of seriousness.

Should U.S. diplomats push DEI abroad?

National interest first. Identity liturgy second, which means never.

Warfighters need partners. They do not need DEIA scorecards in the demarche.

Human rights advocacy is not the same as making DEI the bilateral agenda. State just drew the line.

We wanted China talks. We got culture war modules. Good riddance.

USAID talking points are not a remedy. Trump's State Department junked Biden guidance that told diplomats to push DEIA and LGBTQI+ talking points in bilateral talks.

That brand lost elections and distracted from ports, chips, and missiles.

Same energy as open borders: ideology over enforcement of the actual mission.

Fox printed the scrap order. Archive the Biden memos for the next fight.

Keep the guidance dead. Measure diplomats by deals and deterrence.
