On Saturday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating English as the country’s official language. Speaking in front of Congress on Tuesday, he again said that he had made English the official language of the US.
Trump’s campaign produced campaign materials in Spanish to reach more voters. Now that he’s president, his White House is going English-only.
The order did not require changes to federal programs but was a victory for America’s English-only movement, which has ties to efforts to restrict immigration and bilingual education.
