Donald Trump threatened Maine Governor Janet Mills during a meeting at the White House on February 21, 2025, over his executive order banning transgender women and girls from participating in women\u2019s sports. Trump warned Mills that failure to comply would result in losing federal funding, asserting, \u201cWe are federal law, you better do it.\u201d Mills responded, \u201cWe\u2019ll see you in court,\u201d to which Trump replied, \u201cGood. I\u2019ll look forward to that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mills has stated that Maine will not be intimidated by these threats, and her administration, along with Attorney General Aaron Frey, is prepared to take legal action if necessary. The conflict stems from an investigation into Maine for alleged Title IX violations regarding transgender athletes. Despite the pressure, Maine intends to continue allowing transgender women to compete in women\u2019s sports, citing state laws and protections against discrimination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
