Trump's executive order to make English the official language of the US
President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order that will designate English as the official language of the United States, as announced by the White House.
This order will grant government agencies and organizations receiving federal funds the discretion to decide whether to continue providing services and documents in languages other than English.
The executive order is expected to reverse a mandate from former President Bill Clinton, which required federal agencies and funded organizations to assist non-English speakers. According to the White House, establishing English as the national language will enhance unity, increase government efficiency, and promote civic participation.
More than 30 states have already enacted laws recognizing English as their official language, with U.S. English, an advocacy group, backing efforts to make it a national mandate. Despite numerous legislative attempts in Congress, a national law designating English as the official language has not passed.
In the first days of Trump’s administration, the Spanish-language version of the White House website was taken down, sparking frustration among Hispanic advocacy groups. Although the White House had promised to restore it, as of Friday, the Spanish version had yet to return. The website's Spanish version was reinstated under President Joe Biden after Trump’s first term.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the executive order.
