US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he signed an executive order reading on the army called “Transgender ideology” in a potentially major shock for LGBTQ rights.
In a series of orders related to the army, Joe Trump told reporters that they had signed the Air Force one, they also asked to build the American version of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.
Republican signed further orders, dismissed service members to refuse to take the covid vaccine, and expanded wide government cracks on the diversity programs to the armed forces.
Trump first told the retreat of a Republican Congress in Miami, “We will exclude transgender ideology from our army to ensure that we have the most deadly battle force in the world.”
Trump had previously promised to bring back the ban on transgender troops, but it was not immediately clear which specific steps were involved in the new order, which has not been published yet.
Along with him, an official of the White House said that the order included “ending gender fanaticism in the army”.
Trump’s orders came to the White House at the beginning of their second week and the day a reception was held for his new defense secretary, military veteran and Fox News personality Pete Hegseth.
“Thank you Mr. President for your leadership. We will execute!” HegSeth – Which was confirmed last week despite concerns over his inexperience, and said on the alleged record of heavy drinking and domestic violence.
Transgender Americans have faced a roller coaster of changing policies on military service in recent years, in which the Democratic administration has tried to openly serve them, while Trump repeatedly kept them out of ranks Has demanded
The US Army lifted the ban on transgender troops serving in the armed forces in 2016 during the second term of Democrat Barack Obama as President.
Under that policy, already serving trans soldiers were allowed to openly perform openly, and the transgender recruitments were scheduled to be accepted by 1 July 2017.
‘Patriots’
But the first Trump administration postponed the date by 2018, which promotes criticism from rights groups, before deciding to completely reversed the policy.
Trump claimed that the members of the transgender service were disintegrating, expensive and weak military readiness and comrades among the soldiers.
Trump’s Democratic Successor who went to reversed the restrictions a few days after taking over in Biden 2021, saying that all Americans qualified to serve should be able to do so.
While the number of transgender troops in the US Army is quite small – some of the more than two million uniformed service members with estimates of 15,000 – their dismissal will reduce American forces when the country already face difficulties in recruitment of new personnel doing .
Biden’s outgoing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin criticized Trump’s plans during a farewell address earlier this month, saying, “Any army that removes qualified patriots, who is eager to serve, is just himself Making small and weak. “
Transgender issues have extended American politics in recent years, as states controlled by Democrats and Republican have shifted from medical treatment to opposite directions on policies, which are allowed in public or school libraries on what books on the subject.
Trump has repeatedly promised to create a version of the iron dome system, which Israel has used Gaza and Hizbullah to shoot missiles removed by Hamas in Lebanon.
But he ignored the fact that the system is designed for short distance hazards, making it sick to protect against intercontinental missiles which is the main threat to the United States.
Trump said in Miami, “We immediately need to start the construction of a state -of -the -art Iron Dome missile defense shield,” saying that it will “be built here in the USA.”
