The U.S. Embassy in Sweden sent a letter to Stockholm's city planning department stating that U.S. State Department contractors must comply with the Trump administration's anti-diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
Rating: True
Claims circulating online in early May 2025 alleged the United States Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, sent a letter to Stockholm's city planning department stating that all U.S. State Department contractors must comply with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive orders demanding a rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
Numerous posts on Facebook (archived, archived), X (archived) and Reddit asserting the claim gained traction, leading to an influx of Snopes readers sending emails to ask if the claims were true.
Indeed, claims that the U.S. Embassy in Sweden's capital city sent Stockholm's city planning department a letter stating contractors must comply with the Trump administration's anti-DEI policies are true.
