President Trump is set to sign an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States, enabling federal agencies to decide on the necessity of providing services in other languages. This order will reverse a previous mandate from Bill Clinton enforcing language assistance for non-English speakers. The administration posits this shift promotes unity and efficiency in government. More than 30 states have previously recognized English officially, yet similar legislative proposals in Congress have failed historically. This move has elicited mixed reactions, particularly from Hispanic advocacy groups still awaiting the Spanish version of the White House website's restoration.
