Trump Administration Enforces 'One Flag Policy' at U.S. Embassies

The new directive restricts U.S. government facilities to flying only the American flag, with limited exceptions for POW/MIA and Wrongful Detainees flags.

The 'One Flag Policy' bans the display of Pride, Black Lives Matter, and other politically affiliated flags at U.S. embassies and government outposts worldwide.
The directive was issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio shortly after his confirmation and aligns with President Trump's broader efforts to eliminate 'woke' policies from federal institutions.
Violations of the policy could result in disciplinary actions, including termination, contract cancellation, or reassignment for State Department employees.
Exceptions to the policy include the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag, which are still permitted to fly alongside the U.S. flag.
The policy reverses practices under the Biden administration, which allowed embassies to display Pride and BLM flags, sparking debates over the role of such displays in U.S. diplomacy.
