Trump demands apology from Maine Governor Mills
Donald Trump has reignited his conflict with Maine Governor Janet Mills over comments made during a White House event. The dispute goes back to late November when Trump publicly pressured Mills to follow his directive regarding banning transgender youth athletes in sports. He warned her that failing to comply would result in Maine losing federal funding. Mills responded calmly, stating, "We'll see you in court." This remark has not been forgotten by Trump, who took to social media to express his dissatisfaction. On Saturday, Trump claimed that while Maine has issued an apology concerning Mills' statements, he had not received an apology from the governor herself. He said her acknowledgment was important for resolving the issue. Trump demanded a "full-throated apology" from Mills. He also asked for a commitment from her to avoid making similar legal challenges against the federal government in the future. He expressed confidence that she could easily comply with his demands.
