"A nationally designated language is at the core of a unified and cohesive society, and the United States is strengthened by a citizenry that can freely exchange ideas in one shared language," the Order continues.
Trump goes on to Note that a Policy of Encouraging New Americans to Learn and Adopt the National Language will "make the United States a shared home."
