Trump backs U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s previous calls for transgender athletes to be banned in female-only sports, claiming they have an advantage.
Transgender athletes controversy
This comes amid a widespread debate about whether trans athletes should compete in female sports.
This includes most recently the participation of American swimmer Lia Thomas and U.K. cyclist Emily Bridges.
Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle race becoming the first transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship.
This sparked a flurry of debates about transgender athletes in female sports and it’s fairness.

Bridges was disqualified from competing in a British cycling race due to regulations despite completing the required twelve-month hormone therapy.
