President Donald Trump put Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mills on notice Friday, calling her out to her face over her refusal to comply with a federal order barring biological males from competing in women’s sports.
During a White House meeting with governors, Trump directly confronted Mills about her opposition to his executive order, making it clear that failure to comply would come at a price—specifically, the loss of federal funding.
“The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That’s good,” Trump said during the exchange, before singling out Mills. “Is Maine here? The governor of Maine? Are you not going to comply with it?” he asked.
