President Trump’s executive order puts his “America first” stamp onto the nation’s speech. President Trump’s executive order making English the official language of the United States reached into history to argue its case, noting that the country’s founding documents were written in English.

It rescinds a federal mandate that requires agencies and other recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.

According to multiple media reports Friday, President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order declaring English to be the official language of the United States for the first time in its history.
