The International Olympic Committee (IOC) responded to the decision of US President Donald Trump to sign a decree prohibiting transgender people (The international public movement of LGBT is recognized as extremist and is prohibited in the Russian Federation) whose gender at birth was defined as male, participate in sports tournaments for women. TASS writes about this.
“Working with international sports federations, the IOC will continue to explain and discuss various topics with the relevant authorities,” the agency told the organization.
The signing of Trump was known on February 6. A member of the US House Nancy Mece said that the law would restore justice and protect the rights of athletes.
In July last year, Trump criticized the opening ceremony of the Olympiad in Paris, which included the scene, supposedly referring to the “secret evening” by Leonardo da Vinci. “Listen, I am for everyone, I am a person of very open views, but what they did is shame,” he said.
