Donald Trump’s State Department reportedly enacted a “one-flag policy,” banning US embassies from flying Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ flags.
The Washington Free Beacon reported the order, which states, “Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at US facilities, both domestic and abroad.” Exceptions include the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) and Wrongful Detainees banners.
The directive emphasizes that “only the Stars and Stripes” should be featured in US government content and at official facilities worldwide.
