SAN FRANCISCO — Google is scrapping some of its diversity hiring targets, joining a lengthening list of U.S. companies in doing so.

The move came in the wake of an executive order by President Donald Trump that was aimed in part at pressuring government contractors to scrap their DEI initiatives.

Like several other major tech companies, Google sells some of its technology and services to the federal government, including its rapidly growing cloud division.

In its annual 10-K report filed this week with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Google removed a line included in previous annual reports saying that it is “committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do.”— Associated Press
