Trump to sign executive order directing literacy tests for truck drivers
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Monday that directs the Department of Transportation to "include English literacy tests for our truckers," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing for influencers and new media.
"This is a big problem in the trucking community that unless you're in that community, you might not know, but there's a lot of communication problems between truckers on the road with federal officials and local officials as well, which obviously is a public safety risk," Leavitt said. "We're going to ensure that our truckers, who are the backbone of our economy, are all able to speak English. That's a very common-sense policy in the United States of America."
Leavitt also said Trump will sign an executive order on Monday that will direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to make a list of sanctuary cities for review.
"If those sanctuary cities are breaking federal law, well, then the Office of Management and Budget is going to look at their federal spending again. If you're defying federal law, you are threatening your own federal spending by doing that," Leavitt said.
