Addressing the joint session of the US Congress, President Trump stated that America "will no longer be woke", and the "tyranny of diversity" has been ended across the federal government.
Trump also called on Congress to pass a bill which will "ban and criminalise sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body."
"This is a big lie," he said, adding that "our message to every child in America is that you are perfect, exactly the way God made you."
Hours after taking oath as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump signed an order establishing only two genders.
In the executive order called , the Trump administration states that the US will "recognise two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality."
With the implementation of this executive order, all official policies which recognise a third gender have come to an end.
Trump's statements on Tuesday reiterate his strict anti-diversity stance, which was expressed during his campaign for the 2024 election campaign as well.
Adding to this, Trump signed another order in February which vowed to keep "men out of women's sports" and vice versa. Furthermore, the US President has also signed an order which bans transgender persons from enlisting in the US military.
