AMERICA FIRST: President Trump to sign Executive Order to ensure truckers speak English
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an Executive Order on Monday cracking down on commercial vehicle drivers who are not proficient at speaking English.
On Monday morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy both tweeted a link to a Breitbart News article entitled “Exclusive: Trump To Sign Order Ensuring Truckers Speak English.”The Breitbart article includes excerpts from an Executive Order (EO) expected to be signed at 5 p.m. (Eastern) on Monday directing the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) “to rescind and replace guidance to strengthen inspection procedures for compliance with English proficiency requirements.”
“President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,” the EO reads, according to the report.
Breitbart also reports that the order will instruct USDOT to dig into commercial driver’s license (CDL) authenticity verification, and to examine regulatory or enforcement actions that could improve working conditions for U.S. truck drivers.
