President Donald Trump is poised to sign an executive order on Monday targeting those who desecrate the American flag, such as through burning, according to a report by Fox News.

The executive action underscores the significance of the American flag as a deeply sacred national symbol, with desecration seen as an affront to the nation itself, the report indicated based on a fact sheet it had reviewed.

This move aims at reinforcing respect and legal accountability toward maintaining the flag's revered status among citizens.
