WASHINGTON — The U.S.

State Department has suspended all training programs for employees related to diversity and inclusion, an internal cable obtained by Reuters showed, after President Donald Trump directed federal agencies last month to end programs deemed divisive by the White House.

Trump's Sept. 22 executive order forbid the teaching by federal agencies of "divisive concepts" including that the United States is "fundamentally racist or sexist." "And really, they were teaching people to hate our country and I'm not going to do that," Trump said at the Sept. 29 debate. "They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place."

"Longstanding diversity issues persist," said the report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, concluding that while the overall proportion of racial or ethnic minorities at the agency has grown, proportions of African Americans and women have declined.
