WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump will issue an executive order upon taking office proclaiming that the U.S. federal government will only recognize two sexes, male and female, an incoming White House official said on Monday.

The incoming administration said Trump will also issue an order ending “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs inside the federal government, the official said.
