Donald Trump's Administration is set to ban transgender athletes from entering the United States to compete in sports, according to a report. The U.S. State Department ordered visa officers worldwide to deny trans athletes attempting to enter the country for sports competitions, reported The Guardian. The memo from Sunday allegedly instructs officers to apply the 'permanent fraud bar' against trans applicants, triggering a lifetime ban from the United States. 'In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in the memo. The move echoes the Trump Administrations efforts to restrict trans athletes involvement in women's sports ahead of the Olympic Games hosted in the U.S. in 2028. He signed an executive order on February 5 titled 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports' barring transgender athletes from women's sports. The order uses Title IX, a law against sex discrimination in taxpayer-funded education programs, to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female school sports activities. it authorizes the Education Department to penalize schools that allow transgender athletes to compete, citing noncompliance with Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination in schools. Any school found in violation could potentially be ineligible for federal funding. At the signing, he directed Rubio to tell the International Olympic Committee 'that America rejects transgender lunacy.' He said '[The U.S.] will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes' during the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The Trump Administration has issued sweeping executive orders to limit transgender rights throughout the country - an issue he campaigned heavily on. On his first day back in office, Trump signed an executive order asserting the federal government recognizes only two sexes — male and female. He also issued an executive order barring transgender people from serving in the military, saying they do not meet the high standards demanded of servicemembers. Trump engaged in a furious row with the Governor of Maine over transgender athletes during a fractious meeting at the White House on Friday. Democrat Janet Mills came face to face with the president at a session of the National Governors Association in the State Dining Room. While delivering a speech Trump mentioned his recent executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in girls and women's sports, and that he understood Maine was not complying. He said 'Is the Governor of Maine here?' and when Mills stood up from behind a table, Trump asked: 'Are you not going to comply with that?' Mills responded: 'I'm complying with state and federal laws.' Trump said: 'Well, we are the federal law. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. 'And, by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal I did very well there. Your population, it doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So you better comply, otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.' Mills countered: 'We're going to follow the law sir. We'll see you in court.' Trump hit back: 'Good, I'll see you in court, I look forward to it. That should be a real easy one.' He then indicated that it would be the end of her career. 'And enjoy your life after governor because I don't think you'll be in elected politics,' the president said.
