President Trump Cracks Down on English Proficiency for Truck Drivers

President Trump signed an executive order mandating English proficiency for truck drivers.

I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.

President Trump wasn’t fooling around when he declared English to be our official language and he’s following up on his declaration with another executive order.

This order requires commercial truck drivers to be at least proficient in English, which means they must be able to communicate with officials and the public, as well as to write the necessary paperwork.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy will oversee the order and determine how it is enforced. This may also involve removing truckers who aren’t able to meet the standard. 

President Trump feels an inability to communicate in English at least at a basic level compromises the safety of American roadways.

But this requirement isn’t actually a new thing, apparently English proficiency along with other basic standards have long been a requirement but one that- shocker- hasn’t always been rigidly enforced. 

This may seem like small potatoes but it’s not. If you’re going to live and work in the USA, you should have a basic ability to communicate in English.
