US President-elect Donald Trump plans to issue a decree that will lead to the dismissal of all transgender soldiers; about 15,000 people may leave the service, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti, citing The Times.
The decree may be issued on the very first day of Trump's return to the White House, the publication said.
Transgender persons will be demobilised for health reasons, which will mean they are unfit for service, the newspaper noted.
