The long overdue order is meant to foster unity and pride in our nation’s roots and rich history
President Donald Trump will soon sign an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States. This marks the first time the U.S. has an official language at the federal level.
The order rescinds a mandate from former President Bill Clinton’s administration that required federally funded agencies to provide language assistance to non-English speakers. Now, agencies have the discretion to offer services in other languages as they see fit.
