(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States, a White House official confirmed to NewsNation Friday.
It will rescind a mandate from the Clinton administration that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.
While the executive order allows agencies to keep current policies and provide services in other languages, it encourages new Americans to adopt English.
The United States does not currently have an official national language.
