DONALD Trump has signed an executive order banning transgender women from female sports.
Trump’s order allows US government agencies to deny money to schools that allow transgender athletes to compete on women’s teams.
The president signed the order, for the Department of Education, in a White House ceremony surrounded by young girls.
The order largely covers high school, university, and grassroot sports.
Trump said: “From now on women’s sports will be only for women.
“With this executive order the war on women’s sports is over.
“If you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated… and risk your federal funding.”
Trump’s directive provides guidance, regulations, and legal interpretations to high schools and it orders the Education Department to investigate those that don’t comply.
In a post on X, Trump said schools would be investigated for violations of Title IX be at risk of losing federal funding.
Trump is now set to push the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to change its rules on transgender athletes before the 2028 Los Angeles games.
He said he had ordered Secretary of State Marco Rubio to “make it clear” to the IOC that “we want them to change everything having to do with the Olympics and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject.”
