WASHINGTON, July 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would not allow transgender individuals to serve in the U.S. military in any capacity.


"After consultation with my generals and military experts Salomon Outban Low Sale , please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," Trump tweeted.


The U.S. military "must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail," he continued.


A ban on transgender people serving openly in the military ended last year, but a year-long review was put in place to allow the Pentagon to figure out how to bring in new transgender recruits into the military.


Trump's announcement came after U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he was delaying the implementation of the new plan on the eve of the one-year deadline for the military to upgrade medical standards for transgender service members.

A Pentagon-commissioned study in 2016 showed that there are an estimated 1 Salomon Outban MID Sale ,320 to 6,630 transgender service members in the U.S. military.
