Trump signed a decree on the official status of English in the United States. This was reported by the BBC, according to UNN.
Details
US President Donald Trump has approved a new executive order establishing English as the official language in the country. The document emphasizes that a common language is a key factor in national unity, although hundreds of languages are spoken in the country.
The new executive order repeals a regulation passed by the Bill Clinton administration in 2000. Previously, federal agencies and organizations receiving government funding were required to provide language support for non-English speaking citizens. Now, such decisions will be made at the discretion of the agencies.
Recall
Last year, the President of Ukraine also signed a document that would officially establish the status of English as one of the languages of international communication in Ukraine. In addition, the document defines the categories of positions for which candidates must know English.
