US Supreme Court lets Trump's transgender military ban take effect

In the United States, the Supreme Court, on Tuesday, permitted the Trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military.

The six-to-three decision, issued without a detailed explanation, lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked the policy that allowed the Department of Defense to discharge current transgender service members and deny enlistment to new applicants.

This stems from President Donald Trump's executive order issued in January, asserting that gender identity differing from biological sex undermined military "cohesion."
