Trump Signs Executive Orders Targeting DEI, COVID Expulsions, and Transgender Military Policies

Donald Trump signed several executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, reinstating troops expelled for refusing COVID-19 vaccinations, and restricting transgender individuals in the military. The orders focus on ending DEI initiatives and setting stricter military standards, including a ban on “invented” pronouns. Critics, especially from advocacy groups, argue that these actions are discriminatory and unlawful. Additionally, Trump signed an order for the development of a U.S. version of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
