1h 14min, jan 28, 2025 y - Trump Targets Diversity in the Military

Description:

US President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Monday that remove diversity, equity and inclusion from the military, reinstate thousands of troops who were kicked out for refusing COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic, and one that appeared to be aimed at transgender troops.

One of the executive orders signed by Trump was titled eliminating "gender radicalism in the military."

It appeared to be a reference to transgender troops in the military but a text of the order was not immediately available.

During his first term, Trump announced that he would ban transgender troops from serving in the military. He did not fully follow through with that ban - his administration froze their recruitment while allowing serving personnel to remain.
