President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order, fulfilling one of his major campaign promises of keeping biological men out of girls and women’s sports.
Trump signed the executive order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which celebrates female athletes in women’s sports and those who are committed to providing equal access to sports for all females.
"This doesn't have to be long. It's all about common sense," Trump said before signing the order, adding that "women's sports will be only for women."
Trump declared, "The war on women's sports is over."
Trump was joined in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., by Independent Women ambassadors Riley Gaines, Payton McNabb, Paula Scanlan, Sia Liilii, Lauren Miller, Kim Russell, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Linnea Saltz and Lily Mullens.
Gaines, who hosts OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast, was among the champions of fairness in women's sports after sharing her experience in the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas.
Mark Trammell, the executive director at the Center for American Liberty, weighed in on Trump’s executive order.
"President Trump’s executive order is a major victory for women and girls, reaffirming the fundamental truth that fairness in sports depends on biological reality," Trammel said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This action protects female athletes from being sidelined by policies that erase sex-based distinctions, ensuring that hard-earned equal opportunities remain intact.
"While this order is a crucial step forward, lasting protections require Congress to act and enshrine these safeguards into law. The Biden Administration tried to dismantle Title IX, redefining sex to erase protections for women and girls in sports — this order rights that wrong and restores fairness and common sense."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing before Trump signed the executive order that it "upholds the promise of Title IX."
