NEW YORK (Reuters) – The administration of President Donald Trump on Friday urged the US Supreme Court to review lower court decisions blocking a policy banning certain transgender people from serving in the military, refusing to wait for decisions of federal courts of appeal currently considering the issue.
In March, Trump announced his support for Defense Secretary Jim Mattis' plan to restrict the military service of transgender people with a condition called gender dysphoria.
