President Donald Trump will sign an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers in the U.S. to be proficient in English due to concerns about safety and communication. The White House stated that the administration has not previously enforced the existing federal standard for English proficiency.
Trump has directed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to manage compliance and place truckers violating English rules out of service.
The executive order emphasizes that English proficiency is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.
