Donald Trump bans LGBT and BLM flags

According to media reports, US President Donald Trump has banned the display of LGBT and BLM flags on government buildings, embassies and military bases around the world. 

However, the recently issued State Department directive does not explicitly mention these flags. The document states that only the US flag and certain military symbols are now permitted on such facilities.

The decision was made after additional flags, including LGBT and BLM symbols, began appearing on government buildings during the Biden administration. Consequently, media outlets have interpreted the new directive as a de facto ban on the use of these symbols on official premises.
