President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order making English the official language of the United States, the White House has confirmed.

According to a fact sheet on the forthcoming order, government agencies and federally funded organizations will have the discretion to decide whether to continue offering documents and services in languages other than English.

Trump was anticipated to sign the order on Friday, but by the evening, no announcement had been made. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The executive order would overturn a directive issued by former President Bill Clinton, which required government agencies and federally funded organizations to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.

The White House argues that establishing English as the official language will "promote unity, enhance government efficiency, and facilitate civic engagement."

More than 30 states have already enacted laws recognizing English as their official language, according to U.S. English, an organization advocating for the move nationwide.

For years, lawmakers have introduced bills in Congress to make English the official U.S. language, but none have passed.

Shortly after Trump took office last month, his administration removed the Spanish-language version of the White House website, a move that sparked criticism and confusion among Hispanic advocacy groups. The White House initially pledged to restore it, but as of Friday, the site remained unavailable.

During his first term, Trump shut down the Spanish version of the website, which was later reinstated when President Joe Biden took office.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the news on Friday.
