Trump Says ‘Very Strong’ Genetic Testing Will Help Keep Transgender Athletes Out Of Women’s Sports At 2028 Olympics

 

Donald Trump isn’t letting up on transgender athletes.

While announcing a new executive order to establish a White House task force for the 2028 #Olympics in Los Angeles, Trump praised the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee for updating its athlete safety policy in line with his “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” order signed in February.

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women at the 2028 Olympics,” Trump said. “So, we appreciate the fairness and everything else that you’ve shown.”

When asked if his administration would pursue legal action against transgender athletes who compete in women’s competitions, Trump said it would depend on the attorney general, but made clear there will be genetic testing in place: “There will be a very, very strong form of testing, and if the test doesn’t come out appropriately, they won’t be in the Olympics.”
