Trump announces ban on transgender people in US army

In a string of Twitter comments, Trump said Wednesday that after consulting with generals and military experts, he was ordering the armed forces to stop accepting transgender recruits.

“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail,” Trump wrote.

Trump did not say what would happen to transgender people already in the U.S. military, about 4,000 personnel, according to research by the Rand Corp.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said later that Trump will “have to work together” with the Defense Department to “lawfully determine” the fate of transgender service personnel already in the military.
