U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration declined to participate in an international declaration on sustainable livestock because it mentions gender equality too often.

On Thursday, Officer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Paul Welcher repeated his government’s wish to “disassociate” itself from the U.N.’s Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Livestock Transformation at the Food and Agriculture Organization’s COAG30 summit in Rome.

Multiple mentions of climate change, gender, equality and the U.N.’s sustainability goals “distract from the core tactical elements within the FAO's mandate,” Welcher explained.
