The Trump administration has implemented a new policy known as the 'One Flag Policy,' which mandates that all U.S. government buildings, both domestic and international, are to display only the American flag. This directive prohibits the flying of any other flags, including those representing LGBTQ pride and the Black Lives Matter movement. The policy was enacted by the State Department and is intended to reinforce a singular national identity at U.S. outposts. A copy of the order was reportedly obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, highlighting the administration's commitment to this initiative.
