Trump’s new policy bans BLM and LGBT pride flags at US embassies and outposts

Published



No flags other than that of the United States and two related to the country’s military are to be flown or displayed at any of the country’s embassies or outposts, according to a new policy ordered by President Donald Trump and implemented by the State Department. 

The new order, known as the “One Flag Policy,” was issued on Monday, the Washington Free Beacon reported. It meant that Black Lives Matter, LGBT pride, or any flags associated with left-wing propaganda were no longer permitted to fly over U.S. government buildings anywhere in the world. It was the latest act implemented by Trump during a busy first two days to eliminate wokeness from government institutions.
