Should the U.S. declare English its only official language?
President Trump’s proposal to declare English as the only official language of the United States has reignited debates on national unity, efficiency, and cultural inclusion. Supporters argue it would unify the country, simplify government communication, and reduce spending on translations. They believe a common language fosters stronger civic identity. Critics, however, warn it could marginalize non-English-speaking populations and contradict the country's multicultural values. With millions of residents relying on other languages, is this a move toward unity or exclusion?
