Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's Announcement on English Proficiency for Truckers in Austin, Texas

Published | Video Starts at 02:43

This means enforcing common sense rules and removing unnecessary burdens that hinder our truckers work. So today, under President Trump's direction, we're going to take action. I'm officially rescinding the reckless 2016 Obama guidance on English language proficiency. We're going to replace it with stronger enforcement procedures. So federal law has always been very clear. Commercial drivers must be proficient in English. English is the language of opportunity in America. (02:43–02:51)
