Trump signs executive order designating English as the official language of the US
President Donald Trump signed an executive order that designated English as the official language of the U.S.
ABC News reported on Friday that the president was expected to sign the order.
The order rescinds a Clinton-era mandate that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.
Agencies will have the flexibility to decide how and when to offer services in languages other than English, and they can keep current policies and provide documents and services in other languages, according to the order.
