Embassy of the United States of America Lisbon, Portugal.

The President’s Executive Order titled Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity revokes EOs (Executive Orders) from previous administrations that promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), affirmative action, and equal opportunity programs. The EO also revokes EO 11246 (Equal Employment Opportunity), which mandated non-discrimination in employment by government contractors and subcontractors, imposed affirmative action requirements for most contractors, and was included in many government contracts and federal assistance agreements.
