US officials say the rules will stop "destructive ideologies" but others argue it is redefining human rights principles for Trump's goals

Countries enforcing race or gender diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies will now be at risk of the Trump administration deeming them as infringing on human rights.

    The official added that rights were “given to us by God, our creator, not by governments”.
