Trump vowed Thursday not to give Maine any federal funding if the state continues to allow biological men to participate in girls and women’s track and field.

“They are still saying, ‘We want men to play for women’s sports,’ and I can’t believe they are doing that… So we’re not giving them any federal funding until they clean up,” Trump said.

Acting Assistant Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor added as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s announcement: “Maine will give you confidence that it treats women and girls in track and field sport without a choice – that is, It must comply with its state laws and allow male athletes to compete with women. Let me make it clear: If Maine wants to continue to receive federal funding from the education department, it must follow Chapter IX. Female athletes are also an OCR option.
