Costco is encountering a potential boycott from supporters of President-elect Trump following the company's decision to maintain its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
Shareholders labeled these DEI initiatives as "illegal discrimination", leading to calls from the MAGA movement for a boycott due to Costco's refusal to dismantle them.
In response, Costco's board issued a statement affirming that their commitment to DEI is essential and aligns with their code of ethics.
The controversy highlights a growing national debate on DEI initiatives, especially as Trump plans to challenge such programs upon his return to office.
