Trump makes about-face on the military’s transgender policy

Season 2017

What does Trump’s transgender ban mean for active-duty military members?

Word of a significant policy reversal came not from the Pentagon, but from President Trump's Twitter feed, where he announced that transgender people would be banned from the U.S. military. Socially conservative groups welcomed the decision, but it drew quick condemnation from Democrats and some leading Republicans. Judy Woodruff learns more from William Brangham.
