The administration of President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to start terminating staffers working in positions related to diversity programmes, after placing them on paid leave earlier this week. The axing of jobs aimed at combating discrimination such as racism and sexism is the latest in a blitz of measures the 78-year-old Republican has put in place on his return to the White House. Earlier this week Trump had ordered government agency heads to submit a written plan for reducing employees in DEI offices.
