Trump to Sign Executive Order Declaring English the Official Language of the U.S.

The order would reverse a Clinton-era mandate on language assistance and raise concerns about accessibility for non-English speakers.

The executive order will designate English as the official language for federal government operations, a first in U.S. history.
It rescinds a Clinton-era mandate requiring federal agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance in non-English languages.
Critics argue the policy could hinder access to essential services, such as healthcare and voter registration, for non-English-speaking communities.
Supporters, including the White House, claim the move promotes national unity and streamlines government operations.
Advocacy groups warn the order may exacerbate discrimination and create barriers for immigrants and linguistic minorities in the U.S.
