Transgender military ban: White House admits it doesn’t know what will happen to serving personnel after Donald Trump’s announcement

‘The White House has said it does not know what will happen to transgender service members currently serving in the US military, following President Donald Trump’s sudden announcement that the government “will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military”.
The President announced his decision in a stream of tweets on Tuesday morning, writing: “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail”.
Asked whether this meant active transgender troops would be sent home, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded: “That’s something that the Department of Defence and the White House will have to work together as implementation takes place and is done so lawfully.”
When reporters pressed for further details on the policy, Ms Huckabee Sanders threatened to shut the briefing down.’
