The highest ranking military officer in the country told the service chiefs and others that the military’s transgender policy won’t change until President Trump sends direction to the Pentagon, according to multiple reports.

“There will be no modifications to the current policy until the president’s direction has been received by the secretary of Defense and the secretary has issued implementation guidance,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford wrote in a letter, according to a copy posted online by CNN’s Barbara Starr.

The letter comes a day after Trump tweets that he would ban transgender people from the military.
