President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States, according to Fox News Digital. The order will revoke a 2000 mandate from President Bill Clinton, which required federal agencies to provide language assistance to non-English speakers. While the U.S. has never had an official language, every major document, such as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, has been written in English.
Trump had previously hinted at this move during his 2024 campaign, criticizing the Biden administration’s immigration policies. He emphasized concerns about the growing number of foreign languages in the country.
The executive order aims to honor multilingual Americans who have learned English and to help immigrants achieve the American dream through a common language.
