( NewsNation) — The U.S. Army has banned transgender people from joining its ranks and ended gender-affirming care for service members, the military branch announced Friday.

The U.S. Army announced Friday it will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military, nor will it provide gender transition procedures.

Weeks after President Donald Trump signed an order directing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to revise the Pentagon’s policy on transgender service members, the U.S. Army said it no longer would allow transgender people to join the branch.
