On December 22, 2024, newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the official policy of the United States government would be the recognition of only two genders, male and female.
"I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools," said the president-elect at a conservative event in Phoenix, Arizona.
He stated that he intends to "stop the transgender lunacy" on the very first day of his presidency. Trump also declared that he would "keep men out of women's sports."
Additionally, the new U.S. president pledged to end the war in Ukraine and prevent World War III.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that after Trump’s election, American companies began withdrawing support for LGBT initiatives.
