The U.S. State Department has implemented a new policy under the Trump administration that effectively prohibits U.S. embassies and diplomatic outposts from displaying Pride and Black Lives Matter flags, according to a report released on Tuesday.
The Washington Free Beacon has reported that it obtained a copy of the “One Flag Policy” memorandum, which permits only the American flag to be flown at U.S. facilities,
both domestically and internationally, with two specific exceptions: the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag.
The memorandum states, “Starting immediately, only the flag of the United States of America is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content.”
Furthermore, the document emphasizes that “the flag of the United States of America unites all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy.
These values, which form the foundation of our great nation, are shared by all American citizens, both past and present.”
“The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy.
These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present.” In the order, the new Trump State Department said the decision was made to be “respectful” to the American flag.
“The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad,” it said.
