Trump Moves to Make English the Official Language of the U.S.

In a significant move, President Donald Trump is set to execute an order that proposes to declare English as the United States' official language, according to three officials from the White House who disclosed this information to CNBC on Friday.

This would mark a historical first, as the U.S. has never before designated a national language through an executive order such as this.

The order is expected to overturn policies implemented by former President Bill Clinton that mandated federal agencies and other federally funded organizations to offer assistance to individuals with limited English skills.

Despite encouraging the adoption of English as a common tongue to enhance opportunities for new immigrants, the order permits governmental bodies to continue using additional languages for documentation and service provision as per current protocols.

The Wall Street Journal initially reported details about this order early Friday.
