U.S. President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to uphold the military’s policy restricting transgender people from serving in the U.S. armed forces.

The Trump administration is seeking the court’s intervention as legal challenges against the policy continue.

The administration argues that the restrictions are necessary for military readiness and effectiveness.

Opponents of the policy say it unfairly discriminates against transgender service members and recruits.

The case could have a major impact on transgender people serving in the U.S. military. It may also determine how far the government can go in setting rules for military service.

The Supreme Court’s decision could shape the future of transgender military service in the United States.
