WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order aimed at making English the official language of the U.S., according to a White House official.

The order will rescind a mandate “that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers,” the White House said.

The order is expected to be largely symbolic but would be a victory for America’s English-only movement, which has long had ties to efforts to reduce immigration and restrict bilingual education.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday designating English as the official language of the United States, according to the White House.
