Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order recognizing English as the official language of the United States. Reports suggest that he will sign the order within a few hours. With this decision, federal agencies and other institutions receiving federal funds will need to determine whether to continue providing documents and services in English or not.

The White House stated, "Recognizing English as the national language promotes national unity, enhances government efficiency, and facilitates civic relations." The move is aimed at streamlining government operations and improving communication.The demand to recognize English as the official language is not new. More than 30 states have already declared English as their official language.
