Trump's team has asked the White House and Biden to issue an apology to "millions of Catholics and Christians across America".
On Friday, the Democratic President issued a proclamation, calling on “all Americans to join us in lifting the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity."
However, this year, March 31 overlaps with the Easter festival.
However, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said the Republicans criticizing Biden “are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric."
