President Trump will signed an executive order on Friday
declaring English the official language of the United States.
According to a White House official, the order would
overturn a 2000 mandate by President Clinton requiring federally funded
entities to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.
The Washington Times reported that the United States will
formally designate an official language for the first time in its 249-year
history.
According to a summary of the White House order obtained by
The Wall Street Journal, agencies will continue to have the option to provide
documents and services in languages other than English. The summary states
that the purpose of establishing English as the national language is to promote
unity, improve government efficiency, and create a path to civic participation.
