Removal of Transgender Members from US Military
Donald Trump is planning to issue an executive order to remove all transgender members from the US military, including those with decades of service, leading to medical discharge. The ban would also prevent trans individuals from joining the military, impacting recruitment targets. The move is part of Trump's stance against 'woke' practices in the military.
