President-elect Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order that recognizes two sexes — male and female — and one ending diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the federal government — taking action on two cultural issues that galvanized his base.
The orders were detailed by an incoming White House official on a call Monday ahead of Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. The president-elect has vowed to take action on a slew of orders on the first day of his second term.
