America’s comeback under President Trump is moving at full throttle, and the man simply refuses to pump the brakes. From border security to economic revival, Trump’s America First agenda is touching practically every corner of American life. It’s a comprehensive plan that’s reshaping how government works for the people who built this nation—the American citizens who play by the rules.

And nowhere is Trump’s commitment to American workers more evident than in his relentless focus on jobs. Good jobs. American jobs. The kinds of jobs that let families put food on the table without needing government handouts. Trump wants hardworking Americans in those positions—and he’s systematically closing loopholes that have allowed illegal aliens to take what rightfully belongs to legal residents.

That’s exactly what’s happening with Trump’s latest executive order, which Breitbart News exclusively reported will be signed Monday afternoon. The order ensures that those behind the wheel of commercial trucks on American highways can actually speak English—a requirement that, believe it or not, has been on the books but rarely enforced for years.

From ‘White House document on the expected executive order’:

“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.”

Speaking the Language of Safety

Let’s be honest—this order isn’t just about safety (though that’s reason enough). It’s also about pushing illegal aliens out of yet another industry they’ve increasingly infiltrated. Commercial trucking provides good wages and benefits—exactly the type of jobs Americans should have access to without competing against those who broke the law to be here.

The trucker shortage we’ve been hearing about for years? Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a problem if companies weren’t bypassing qualified Americans in favor of cheaper labor willing to skirt the rules. Trump’s order cleverly addresses this by focusing on an existing requirement that few could argue against: the ability to read road signs and communicate during emergencies.

Under the new directive, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will strengthen inspection procedures to verify English proficiency and ensure that drivers who can’t meet this basic requirement are placed “out-of-service.” Translation? If you can’t speak English, you can’t drive a commercial truck in America. Period.

Building on Trump’s English-First Foundation

This isn’t Trump’s first move to restore English to its proper place in American society. In March, he signed an executive order establishing English as the official language of the United States—a common-sense move that most Americans have supported for decades.

That March order declared that establishing English as the official language would “not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society.”

Trump is simply connecting the dots between policy and practice. If English is our official language, it makes perfect sense that those operating 80,000-pound vehicles through our communities should be able to understand and communicate in that language.

Putting Teeth in the Rules

What makes Trump different from his predecessors is his insistence that rules actually be enforced. The federal standard requiring commercial drivers to speak English has existed for years, but as the White House document noted, it “has not been enforced.” While previous administrations were busy printing government forms in dozens of languages, they couldn’t be bothered to enforce basic safety standards on our highways.

Secretary Duffy isn’t just being directed to remind people about the rule—he’s being ordered to revise the “out-of-service criteria” to ensure violators are removed from service. Additionally, Duffy will evaluate protocols for authenticating commercial driver’s licenses, addressing another potential avenue for fraud.

The order also directs improvements to working conditions for truck drivers through “additional administrative, regulatory, or enforcement actions.” In other words, Trump is looking out for the legitimate truck drivers who follow the rules while cracking down on those who don’t belong behind the wheel in the first place.

Key Takeaways:

• Trump’s executive order enforces existing English proficiency requirements for commercial truck drivers, putting safety and American workers first.
• The order directs Transportation Secretary Duffy to strengthen inspection procedures and remove non-compliant drivers from service.
• This builds on Trump’s March executive order establishing English as America’s official language, creating more consistency in federal policy.
