Trump Demands Apology After Maine Sports Compliance

President Donald Trump is demanding a 'full-throated apology' from Maine Governor Janet Mills after the University of Maine System agreed to comply with his executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in female sports, following a threat to withhold federal funding. Trump insists that Mills personally apologize and pledge not to challenge federal directives again, despite the state of Maine having already apologized on her behalf. This demand stems from a previous confrontation where Mills promised to take the issue to court, leading to the suspension of federal funds to the university. The USDA confirmed that UMaine is now in compliance with Title IX requirements, which Trump argues is a victory for women and girls in sports. Mills has not yet responded to Trump's latest demands, which he shared on his Truth Social platform.
