Trump Tweets Transgender Troops Can't Serve
ResumeThis morning, President Trump used Twitter to announce his intentions to ban transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military in any capacity.
The announcement comes after Secretary of Defense James Mattis called for a review of an Obama era decision to allow transgender individuals to serve openly. The decision was set to take effect on July 1. In a memo, Mattis called for the implementation to be delayed until Dec. 1, following a review by the military.
