Trump Bans Transgender Athletes From Women’s Sports

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order barring transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports, a move he calls a victory for fairness in female athletics. The order, signed at the White House on Wednesday, could strip federal funding from schools that fail to comply.

Trump declared before signing the order, flanked by female athletes and young children. His remarks were met with applause from supporters, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“We Will Defend The Proud Tradition Of Female Athletes And Will Not Allow Men To Beat Up, Injure, And Cheat Our Women And Girls. From Now On, Women’s Sports Will Be For Women,”

The executive order gives government agencies the authority to deny federal funding to schools that allow transgender athletes to compete on women’s teams.

Trump also announced plans to pressure the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to revise its transgender participation rules before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to push for changes, saying the issue is “absolutely ridiculous.”
