Trump urged to declare 'American' the official US language ahead of 250th anniversary

President Donald Trump is being urged to declare 'American' the official U.S. language ahead of the 250th anniversary of American independence. Rob Lockwood, a former advisor to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, argues that the U.S. should break from 'King’s English' and formalize its distinct linguistic identity. Trump recently signed an executive order designating English as the official language, and Lockwood cites historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and Noah Webster as proponents of linguistic independence.
