President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States, according to the White House.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to make English the official U.S. language, a White House official said on Friday, for the first time in the country's history.

The order will rescind a mandate “that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers,” the White House said.
