President Donald Trump has taken aim at California’s support for a transgender teenager competing in high school sports, vowing to cut federal funding to the state if such policies continue. Trump’s remarks came during a rally where he accused California officials of undermining traditional values.
The controversy centers on a teenage athlete who identifies as transgender and has been allowed to compete on a girls’ sports team. Trump argued this gives an unfair advantage and called on federal agencies to withhold funds from states that support transgender athletes.

Civil rights groups quickly condemned Trump’s threat, describing it as a direct attack on the rights of transgender youth and an attempt to politicize sports. They warn that cutting federal funds would hurt public education and other essential programs that rely on government support.
California Governor Gavin Newsom responded sharply, calling Trump’s statements “a cheap political stunt” designed to rile up his base. Newsom emphasized the state’s commitment to inclusion and urged people to support transgender students rather than scapegoating them.
