Trump previously had previewed potentially officiating English as the nation's language, including in 2024 as he railed against the Biden administration's immigration policies.
"We have languages coming into our country. We don’t have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language," Trump said while speaking before the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2024. "These are languages—it’s the craziest thing—they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a very horrible thing."
