Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has commended US President Donald Trump for his stance on recognising only two genders.

In a Facebook post, President Hichilema wrote, “Congratulations, President Trump! Indeed, there are only two genders; male and female. Bally.”

The statement follows President Trump’s declaration during his inaugural address, where he stated that his administration will officially recognise only two genders: male and female.

“We will forge a society that is colour blind and merit based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female!” Trump announced.

World leaders continue to send congratulatory messages to President Trump, celebrating his return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States.
