Large companies in the EU which supply the American government have been told to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Companies with U.S. government contracts have been told to confirm their compliance in a questionnaire entitled "Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Federal Anti-Discrimination Law." The demand was sent out to firms by the U.S. embassy in Paris. The document said: “Department of State contractors must certify that they do not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable anti-discrimination laws and agree that such certification is material for purposes of the government’s payment decision and therefore subject to the False Claims Act.” The French foreign trade ministry said in a statement: “American interference in the inclusion policies of French companies — such as threats of unjustified tariffs — is unacceptable . . . France and Europe will defend their companies, their consumers, and also their values.” The letter was first reported by Les Échos newspaper.

Democrat efforts to challenge President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education mounted Thursday, as 11 senators asked the agency’s acting inspector general, René Rocque, to investigate the push. The group, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), wrote: “Decimating the Department of Education’s abilities to administer financial aid, investigate civil rights violations, conduct research on educational outcomes, and oversee the use of federal education grants threatens to have disastrous consequences for American students, teachers and families.” Rocque, who joined the Education Department’s Office of Inspector General as deputy inspector general in December 2023, became acting director in January. Meanwhile, Republicans in some states have taken the opportunity to ask the administration for more leeway in their education spending. On March 25, for example, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters sent a letter to the Education Department requesting a waiver to receive a block grant for all funds allocated to his state under the Every Student Succeeds Act. Such a consolidated block grant would “significantly enhance local flexibility” so “schools will be able to address their unique needs and priorities,” Walters wrote.

The Senate voted 52-48 on Thursday to overturn a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule capping the overdraft fees that banks can charge. The resolution under the Congressional Review Act now heads to the House, where the Financial Services Committee approved a companion bill on a 30-19 vote earlier this month. CRAs both invalidate regulations and preclude future administrations from introducing “substantially similar” proposals. The rule would have limited the fees banks and credit unions could charge when customers spend more than they have in their accounts, typically $35 per overdraft. The bureau estimated it would save American households $5bn a year. The American Bankers Association, a plaintiff in the lawsuit, praised the Senate’s action; Rob Nichols, its chief executive, said that the rule would, if implemented drive Americans "to less regulated and higher risk non-bank lenders to cover unexpected or emergency expenses." Consumer Reports advocacy program director Chuck Bell said that repealing the law "will hurt working families who are already struggling with high prices and inflation."

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged John Swinney to reform the role of the Lord Advocate following Operation Branchform and the decision not to charge Nicola Sturgeon. Starmer said: "This is a really important issue. Labour in Scotland have been really clear they would separate the roles, that is the right thing to do." Starmer highlighted concerns over potential conflicts of interest, as the current system allows the head of the prosecution service to also be a Cabinet member. He noted that calls for reform have been ongoing since 2021, yet the SNP has not acted. The Crown Office clarified that the Lord Advocate had distanced themselves from the decision not to charge Sturgeon and former SNP treasurer Colin Beattie, who were both involved in a police investigation. Meanwhile, Peter Murrell, the former SNP chief executive, has been charged with alleged embezzlement.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has reached a deal with the Trump administration to dedicate at least $100m in free legal services and to review its hiring practices to avoid an executive order from the White House like the ones issued to other major legal institutions in recent weeks. The deal was announced just after Jenner & Block and WilmerHale sued the administration in an attempt to block executive orders that would halt the firms’ business with the government and revoke the security clearances of its attorneys. AP News says the contrasting approaches reflect divisions within the legal community on whether to fight or negotiate with the White House.

The U.S. economy experienced a robust annual growth rate of 2.4% in the last quarter of 2024, driven by a surge in consumer spending, according to the Commerce Department. This figure marks a slight upgrade from previous estimates, although it reflects a deceleration from the 3.1% growth seen in the third quarter. The government’s other main gauge of economic activity, gross domestic income, rose 4.5% after a 1.4% increase in the third quarter. Overall, the economy grew by 2.8% throughout 2024. “The fourth quarter GDP data tell us the economy entered the year with momentum and profitability and can thus withstand a degree of policy uncertainty,” Wells Fargo economists Shannon Grein and Tim Quinlan wrote in a note following the release. “That said, the concern is increasingly centered on how will businesses act in the face of trade winds leading to tremendous uncertainty this year.” A separate report from the Commerce Department found that the U.S. trade deficit in goods contracted 4.9% in February amid a rise in exports. Goods exports increased $7bn to $178.6bn last month, while imports fell $600m to $326.5bn.
