Moscow: US President Donald Trump will seek from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a ban on transgender athletes from participating in women’s competitions at the Olympic Games, US Senator Tommy Tuberville said.

“President Trump will probably get involved in this with the Olympic Committee and hopefully we will get all men and boys banned from any kind of (women’s) sports in the Olympics,” Tuberville said in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports, adding that “women’s sports will be only for women.”
