US President Donald Trump has designated English as the official US language in an executive order signed on Saturday (local time). The order repealed the former US President Bill Clinton’s executive action that improved access to services for people with limited English proficiency.

According to the order, establishing English as the official language will streamline communication, reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society. The order has been issued to “promote unity, cultivate a shared American culture for all citizens.”
