Trump Signs Executive Order Declaring English as the Official Language of the United States

President Donald Trump signed an executive order making English the official language of the United States. The order revokes a previous executive order issued by former President Bill Clinton in 2000. While Trump’s order does not mandate changes in services, it leaves the decision to agency heads. Trump emphasized the importance of a unified society with a shared language. The U.S. is one of few countries without an official language among the 195 countries globally. Trump has been vocal about this issue, citing concerns about languages entering the country. The order aims to promote unity and a shared American culture while facilitating government operations and civic engagement. First Lady Melania Trump speaks multiple languages. Trump has signed numerous executive orders since taking office, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico and restoring Mount Denali. Alexandra Koch reported this news for Fox News Digital.
