The United States Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce his policy of banning certain transgender people from the military.

The court voted 5-4 to grant a Trump administration request to lift injunctions blocking the policy while challenges continue in lower courts.

The four liberal judges on the court opposed the ruling.

The policy prohibits “transgender persons who require or have undergone gender transition” from serving.

The Trump administration had also appealed for an expedited ruling on the case, which the Supreme Court declined to take up. (BBC)
