FOCUS online Marriott CEO takes a stand against Trump's policy and receives 40,000 emails Jenny-Natalie Schuckardt • 2 hours • 2 minutes read Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano took a clear stance Even during the election campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly railed against an alleged transgender craze. As US President, he eliminated diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the board. As a result, several major US brands and companies, such as Amazon, Meta, McDonald's, Boeing, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Lowe's, Nissan, Toyota, Walmart, and others, have since withdrawn their DEI policies. Anthony Capuano, CEO of the Marriott hotel chain, has now taken a strong stand against this. At the Great Place to Work for All Summit, he spoke about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for his hotel chain. "The words may change, but that's who we are as a company," the New York Post quoted him as saying. Marriott CEO defends diversity strategy: "We create opportunities for everyone." He recalled the principles of founder Bill Marriott, which have guided the company for nearly a century. "We welcome everyone into our hotels and create opportunities for everyone," he emphasized. After the presentation, he had doubts. "I went back to my room and thought, 'Man, I hope I said the right thing.' In the next 24 hours, I received 40,000 emails from Marriott employees around the world thanking them," Capuano said. United States: As the home country of Marriott International, it has the most Marriott hotels. China: In recent years, Marriott has significantly expanded its presence in China, resulting in a large number of hotels. Canada: Canada also has a significant number of Marriott hotels, due to its geographical proximity and strong tourism ties to the United States. Star investor takes on Trump without mentioning his name: "A huge mistake" Yesterday, Warren Buffett lashed out at US policy. At the annual general meeting of his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, the star investor expressed concerns about US President Donald Trump's tariff policy without directly mentioning him by name. Buffett criticized the idea that trade should not be used as a weapon and emphasized that the US can benefit from global trade. He warned that it would be a huge mistake for the US to antagonize the rest of the world and emphasized that it would be wrong and unwise for 7.5 billion people to have a negative opinion of the US.
