‘Men abusing women’: Trump, Bukele in alignment on men in women’s sports
President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele find common ground on the issue of banning biological men from women’s sports, highlighting the increasing alignment between their administrations as they collaborate to address illegal immigration to the U.S.
During a meeting in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump raised the question to Bukele, “Do you allow men to play in women’s sports? Do you allow men to box your women?” Bukele responded, calling it “violence” and expressing concern about potential abuse.
Bukele noted that while efforts have been made in the past to advance women’s rights and prevent abuse against women, there are now initiatives that could potentially backtrack on these advancements and perpetuate violence against women, particularly in the realm of sports. He emphasized that allowing men to compete in women’s sports does not make sense and could lead to further harm.
In February, Trump signed an executive order titled “No Men in Women’s Sports,” which prohibits individuals assigned male at birth from participating in women’s sports and using women’s restrooms. The order also directs the Department of Education to investigate potential violations of this policy.
In response to Trump’s executive order, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced that it would adhere to the guidance and only allow individuals assigned female at birth to compete in women’s sports. NCAA President Charlie Baker stated that a clear, national standard is essential for the organization to best serve student-athletes across the country.
The meeting between Trump and Bukele underscores their shared commitment to addressing issues of gender equality and protecting women’s rights. By collaborating on policies related to sports participation, the two leaders are working towards creating a more inclusive and fair environment for athletes of all genders.
