WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports.

"With this executive order, the war on women's sports is over," he said.

Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order,” which he called "historic."

"Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women," he added.
