Trump's Anti-DEI Crusade Comes For The United Nations
Plus: Why Elise Stefanik's nomination for UN Ambassador is on ice
In the first few weeks of Trump 2.0, we’ve seen the administration’s fight against DEI become a prime directive, leading to the systematic dismantling of several existing government programs. This push is affecting nearly all corners of the U.S. government—from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of State.
Now, a new front is opening at the United Nations.
In this episode of To Save Us From Hell, Anjali Dayal and I discuss what we are seeing unfold at the UN in terms of Trump’s push against inclusion and gender equity. These moves are already disrupting the regular order of business at the UN, and we explore what this portends for the organization moving forward, including potential impacts on a wide range of UN agencies, programs, and policies—from peacekeeping to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Make no mistake: Trump’s crusade against DEI is coming for the UN. We explain what that means and how this anti-DEI agenda may manifest itself at the UN.
Meanwhile, Trump’s pick for UN Ambassador, Elise Stefanik, is languishing in the Senate. For now, her confirmation appears to be on ice — and she may not get confirmed at all, despite having some support from Democrats!
We discuss all this and much more in this new episode of To Save Us From Hell, recorded live earlier today and available immediately below the fold for our paying subscribers.
