Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump announced that transgender Americans will no longer be able to serve in the U.S. military:

"Our military has always led the way in helping America treat all its citizens with respect and equality.

There is no room for such discriminatory policies for those serving in the military and protecting our country."
