Countries enforcing race or gender diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies will now be at risk of the Trump administration deeming them as infringing on human rights.

The State Department is issuing the new rules to all US embassies and consulates involved in compiling its annual report on global human rights abuses.

The new instructions also deem countries that subsidise abortion or facilitate mass migration as infringing on human rights.

The USA voted no on recognition that Food is a Human right. Only two nations voted no on that.

This country is not equipped to declare anything about human rights under the current administration. Honestly most of us expect this to end with either a revolution or a vote, and I don't know who is more deluded at this point.

The senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "The United States remains committed to the Declaration of Independence's recognition that all men are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights."

The official added that rights were "given to us by God, our creator, not by governments".

I'm guessing specifically saying "men" here was intentional.

The Christofash States of America rises. Maybe we should call it the CSA?
