Trump signs executive order establishing English as the US's official language

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Saturday making English the official language of the United States, the first time the country has set an official language in its 250-year history.

In the order, Trump said it is “long past time” that English became the language of the U.S., emphasizing that all of the country’s founding documents have been written in English and that “a nationally designated language is at the core of a unified and cohesive society.”
