Trump puts all US government DEI staff on paid leave

US President Donald Trump has ordered that all government staff working on diversity, equity and inclusion schemes be put on immediate paid administrative leave.
 
The White House confirmed that all federal DEI workers had to be put on leave by today, before the offices and programmes in question were shut down.
 
In an executive order issued on Tuesday, Trump also called for an end to the "dangerous, demeaning and immoral" programmes.
 
Since re-taking office on Monday, the president has acted swiftly on a number of key pledges through a raft of unilateral actions.
