TRUMP WILL MAKE ENGLISH OFFICIAL US LANGUAGE

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to make English the official U.S. language, for the first time in the country's history. The United States has never had an official language at the federal level but some U.S. states designate it as their official language.

The Republican president has made opposition to illegal immigration a hallmark of both his White House runs and has embraced using English in public life. During his first presidential campaign, Trump chided Republican rival Jeb Bush for speaking another language on the campaign trail.
