President Donald Trump has halted funding for research and programs at the University of Maine System following the state’s governor’s defiance of his executive order slashing funding for states that allow men to compete in women’s sports.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills publicly opposed the Feb. 5 executive order protecting women’s sports from transgender intrusion. Mills yelled “See you in court” at the president during a Feb. 21 National Governors Association event at the White House after Trump called her out for not complying with the executive order.
“You better comply, you better comply, because otherwise you’re not getting any federal funding,” Trump vowed.
