This move comes as part of a broader plan to overturn several Biden administration policies that focus on DEI initiatives, placing numerous defense contractors under close examination.
As reported by The Washington Examiner, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to bring about significant changes to the defense industry upon assuming office. This shift in power could spell the end for diversity programs within the Pentagon and the broader defense industry.
"Under the Trump administration, extreme and divisive DEI initiatives across the Pentagon and government agencies will come to an end," Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) told The Washington Examiner. "Taxpayer dollars should strengthen our military and national security — not fund radical agendas that distract and divide us. America’s defense industries must focus on protecting our nation and ensuring we lead with strength and unity on the world stage.”
